Chemistry & Catalysis
Everything we do and everything we see around us has chemistry at its core – from the way living things function to the fuels that give us light, heat and mobility and the consumer goods that make life comfortable.
Materials Sciences
Our Materials Science programs provide a comprehensive set of tools and methodologies to shrink the gap between computational and experimental materials discovery with a focus on the function of new materials.
Structural Biology
The goal of our structural molecular biology division is understanding biological structure and function, and applying this knowledge to address a wide range of problems within a large, worldwide multidisciplinary effort.
Enabling COVID-19 Research
In light of the rapidly changing situation world-wide resulting from the COVID-19 virus, the Department of Energy Basic Energy Sciences light and neutron sources want to ensure they are doing everything possible to enable research into this virus.
Biological Sciences
The Biosciences Division builds on our unique strengths in X-ray based research to explore biological function on multiple scales, from individual genes, proteins and enzymes to molecular ecosystems.
Cryo-Electron Microscopy
The Cryo-EM facility provides access to state-of-the-art instruments for data collection towards atomic resolution structure determination of biochemically purified single particles.
Nano-X
Nano-X houses an advanced electron beam lithography tool and associated processing and metrology equipment. The toolset is aimed towards providing rapid nano-prototyping capabilities.
