Center for Functional Nanomaterials

Multimedia

Staff from Brookhaven's new Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) describe how this advanced facility will focus on the development and understanding of nanoscale materials. The CFN provides state-of-the-art capabilities for the fabrication and study of nanoscale materials, with an emphasis on atomic-level tailoring to achieve desired properties and functions. The overarching scientific theme of the CFN is the development and understanding of nanoscale materials that address the Nation's challenges in energy security.

Self-Assembly by Instruction: Designing Nanoscale Systems Using DNA-Based Approaches (474th Brookhaven Lecture)

Multimedia Gang, Oleg

In the field of nanoscience, if you can control how nanoparticles self-assemble in particular structures — joining each other, for example, as molecules can form, atom-by-atom — you can design new materials that have unique properties that industry needs. Nature already uses the DNA genetic code to instruct the building of specific proteins and whole organisms in both plants and people. Taking a cue from nature, scientists at BNL devised a way of using strands of synthetic DNA attached to the surface of nanoparticles to instruct them to self-assemble into specific nanoscale structures, clusters, and three-dimensional organizations.

Nanovision: Nanotubes, Nanowires, and Nanoparticles (404th Brookhaven Lecture)

Multimedia Wong, Stanislaus

A very few years ago, the field of nanoscience — the science of materials at the nanometer (nm), or billionth-of-a-meter scale — was relatively unexplored. Today, it is one of the hottest areas of research, with new techniques and new tools to probe the structure and function of materials at the atomic and molecular level. Once scientists had found that, at this ultra-small scale, the chemical and physical properties of materials often differ from the properties they have in bulk form, the rush was on: first to determine the new structural and chemical characteristics of each material, then, to trymore »« less

Growing Cutting-edge X-ray Optics

Multimedia Conley, Ray

Ever imagined that an Xbox controller could help open a window into a world spanning just one billionth of a meter? Brookhaven Lab's Ray Conley grows cutting-edge optics called multilayer Laue lenses (MLL) one atomic layer at a time to focus high-energy x-rays to within a single nanometer. To achieve this focusing feat, Ray uses a massive, custom-built atomic deposition device, an array of computers, and a trusty Xbox controller. These lenses will be deployed at the Lab's National Synchrotron Light Source II, due to begin shining super-bright light on pressing scientific puzzles in 2015.
