Research Centers
 

	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 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.
	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.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
