Interest in nanoscience has grown explosively because of the perceived potential to beneficially impact almost every aspect of our lives. Nanoscale materials with remarkable properties will ultimately disappoint humankind if they cannot be exploited by integration into technologies providing unprecedented functionality and performance. As a DOE Office of Science national user facility, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) provides access to scientific expertise and advanced capabilities for researchers to create, characterize, understand and integrate nanostructured materials. Differentiating CINT capabilities include an expanding portfolio of our signature Discovery PlatformsTM that can be used alone or as sophisticated “experiments within an experiment”; novel synthetic approaches for exquisitely heterostructured nanowires, nanoparticles and quasi-two-dimensional materials; ultra-high resolution spectroscopic techniques of nanomaterial dynamics; in situ microscopies that provide real-time, spatially-resolved structure/property information for increasingly complex materials systems; advanced simulation techniques for integrated nanomaterials; and multi-scale theory for interfaces and dynamics. These specialized capabilities, a portfolio of foundational capabilities, and the nanoscience expertise of our staff in the CINT Core and Gateway Facilities, together form an unparalleled resource for CINT users to perform world-class nanomaterials integration research. The DOE Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies is operated jointly by Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories and supported by the DOE Office of Science. Sandia is a multi-program laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000. Los Alamos National Laboratory, an affirmative action equal opportunity employer, is operated by Los Alamos National Security, LLC, for the National Nuclear Security Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC52-06NA25396.
