Center
for Functional Nanomaterials This Center will provide researchers with state-of-the-art capabilities to fabricate and study nanoscale materials. The Center's focus is to achieve a basic understanding of how these materials respond when in nanoscale form. Nanomaterials offer different chemical and physical properties than bulk materials, and have the potential to form the basis of new technologies. |

RIKEN
BNL Research Center This Center, established by the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, Japan (RIKEN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, focuses on the physics program of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, hard Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) / spin physics, lattice QCD and relativistic heavy ion physics. |
 |
Computational
Science Center The purpose of the CSC is to provide computational science capabilities through the use of powerful, state-of-the-art computers for researchers in biology, chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, medicine, and nanoscience Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, the Center features Large Linux clusters and two QCDOC computers with with 12,288 processors each. |

Center
for Translational Neuroimaging Scientists have made great advances in understanding how the brain works at the cellular level. But translating this knowledge to understanding human behavior and treating brain diseases such as drug addiction, eating disorders, attention deficit disorder, and neurodegenerative disorders has lagged behind. The Center for Translational Neuroimaging aims to bridge this gap using a network of complementary brain-imaging tools including positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). |
 |
Center for Radiation Chemistry Research This Center exploits pulse radiolysis techniques to study chemical reactions and other phenomena by subjecting samples to pulses of high-energy electrons. The reactions are followed by various methods of time-resolved spectroscopy and other detection techniques. The Center includes the new picosecond Laser-Electron Accelerator Facility, a 2 MeV Van de Graaff accelerator, and a cobalt-60 source. |
 |
Environmental
Waste Technology Center This Center aims to solve today's hazardous materials management problems with innovative and practical solutions in the areas of in situ technologies, waste forms, geochemistry, materials technology, risk assessment and decontamination & decommissioning. |
 |
National
Nuclear Data Center This Center provides information services in the fields of low and medium energy nuclear physics to users in the United States and Canada. In particular, the Center can provide information on neutron, charged-particle, and photonuclear reactions, nuclear structure, and decay data. |
 |
Center
for Accelerator Physics
This Center is an interdepartmental unit with a mission to promote research and education in Accelerator Physics. The Center fosters new ideas and teamwork among physicists worldwide for projects that will steer accelerator physics into the next generation. |
