Following World War I the United States made the strategic decision to invest in complex, large scale scientific facilities to ensure America’s leadership role in science. These include particle and nuclear physics accelerators, synchrotron light sources, neutron scattering facilities, supercomputers and high-speed computer networks, nanoscale science research centers, genome sequencing facilities, and advanced resources in imaging and analysis for biological and environmental systems. These assets are made available to scientists to nurture discoveries that support our national security and improve humanity.
Over the last 70+ years this crucial network of “User Research Facilities” have become sources of fundamental discoveries that shape the path of science for the world.
The Society for Science at User Research Facilities exists to connect these facilities to share best practices, provide trainings, advocate for streamlined communications, promote efficient data access and engage the scientific community.
Scientists around the world can use EMSL’s world-class laboratory space, expertise, and equipment – for free – if their research proposal is competitively selected. During this webinar you’ll hear from four experts how to make your proposal stand out from the competition.
Researchers used Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Quantum Computing User Program (QCUP) to achieve major improvements in quantum fidelity, a potential step toward more accurate, reliable quantum networks and supercomputers.
The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Scientific Discovery Through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program was created to bring together many of the nation’s top researchers to develop new computational methods for tackling some of the most challenging scientific problems.
The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) offers users world-class expertise, scientific leadership, and cutting-edge resources in the native and top-down proteomics fields. Up Next: Realizing
