Facilities
National User Facilities
The Energy Sciences and Engineering operates and manages many outstanding scientific and engineering research
facilities and welcomes the brightest minds from industry, academia, and other government laboratories to pursue scientific discovery
and innovation. Two of its facilities, the Center for Nanoscale Materials and the Electron Microscopy Center are official U.S.
Department of Energy Scientific User Facilities. One is a U.S Department of Transportation National Supercomputing Facility. Operated
as national scientific resources, these facilities are sophisticated research machines that would be too expensive for a single
company or university to build and operate.
Other Argonne Facilities
Argonne has many other laboratories and research facilities that are also open to outside researchers from
industry, academia and other national laboratories for a cost-recovery-based fee. On a negotiated basis, research results may
be kept proprietary or published in the open literature at the user's discretion.
