The MolecularFoundry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is a User Facility charged with providing support to research in Nanoscience underway in academic, government and industrial laboratories around the world.
The Foundry provides users with instruments, techniques and collaborators to enhance their studies of the synthesis, characterization and theory of nanoscale materials.
Its focus is on the multidisciplinary development and understanding of both “soft” (biological and polymeric) and “hard” (inorganic and microfabricated) nanostructured building blocks and the integration of those building blocks into complex functional assemblies.
Since the introduction of industrial foundries in the 17th century, the shape and size of the objects that can be made at a foundry has been limited only by the ability to liquefy a material and cast it in a mold.
The MolecularFoundry is the first of five proposed U.S. Department of Energy Nanoscale Science Research Centers and the only one on the West Coast.
The MolecularFoundry is under the direction of Carolyn Bertozzi, a faculty scientist with Berkeley Lab’s Materials Sciences and Physical Biosciences Divisions, and the T.Z. and Irmgard Chu Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley.
