Department of Energy (DOE)-Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)

Nanoscience and nanotechnology is a major thrust for the laboratory. By precisely manipulating atoms and molecules-the very building blocks of nature-our research could yield safe, just-in-time sources of hydrogen for a wide range of energy applications, new instruments to observe chemical processes in living cells, and miniaturized sensors to detect pathogens in foods and the environment. Fundamental sciences work includes:
soft materials interfaces; synthesis and characterization; nanoscale biological processes; and theory, modeling and simulation. Examples of current research includes: - Nano particle-based Materials for Microanalysis - Synthesis and Characterization of Chemically Tailored Monolithic Nanoporous Thin Films using Molecular Beam Techniques - Organized Nanoclusters of Cooperative Biomolecules - Single-Nanoparticle Characterization using AFM Enhanced Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy - The Synthesis and Characterization of Individual and Hierarchically Structured Nanorod Materials - Modeling of Structure, Flow, and Transport in Nanoscale Systems - Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Nanocrystalline Oxide Film Structures
