Collaborative Research Opportunities in Nanoscale Science

Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories, under the sponsorship of DOE's Office of Basic Energy Sciences, are developing a collaborative nanoscience user facility, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT). All of the capabilities of CINT will be available without cost to the scientific community through this collaborative process. The distinguishing characteristic of the Center is its emphasis on exploring the path from scientific discovery to the integration of nanostructures into the micro- and macroworlds. Integration is key to the development and exploitation of nanomaterials and the scientific challenges that it poses are at the heart of CINT's mission.

The CINT facility will contain a Flexible Fabrication Laboratory, clean rooms, office space for visitors and collaborators, and state-of-the-art facilities supporting the four scientific thrust areas in Nanophotonics & Nanoelectronics, Nanomechanics, Nano-Bio-Micro Interfaces, and Complex Functional Materials. CINT will also connect users to specialized capabilities at both Sandia and Los Alamos, including the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center, National High-Magnetic Field Laboratory, Microelectronics Development Laboratory, Compound Semiconductor Research Laboratory, and DOE/High Performance Computing platforms, through gateways on each of the Laboratories' campuses. Through its central facility and gateways, CINT scientists from each laboratory will collaborate with visitors from universities, laboratories, and industry.
