Congratulations CNM staff and users! In a recent Nature Communications publication, researchers show how materials change as they are stressed and relaxed. Scientists looking to measure the dynamics of how materials change have developed a new technique that leverages X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. This technique creates “fingerprints” of different materials that can be read and analyzed by a neural network to yield new information that scientists previously could not access. A neural network is a computer model that makes decisions in a manner similar to the human brain.

CNM at Argonne is a DOE user facility providing expertise and infrastructure for nanoscience and nanotechnology research
About us
The Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) is a DOE Office of Science Nanoscale Science Research Center (NSRC) dedicated to nanoscience and nanotechnology. The mission of the NSRCs is twofold: to enable the external scientific community to carry out high-impact nanoscience projects through an open, peer-reviewed user program, and to conduct in-house research to discover, understand, and exploit functional nanomaterials for society’s benefit. To fulfill this mission, CNM houses the most advanced facilities for nanoscience research and employs world-class scientists who are experts in nanoscience and nanotechnology who enjoy working with external users. The CNM is at the forefront of discovery science that addresses national grand challenges encompassing the topics of energy, information, materials and the environment. The scientific strategy of the CNM unites three crosscutting and interdependent scientific themes that collectively aim at the discovery and integration of materials across different length scales studied at the extremes of temporal, spatial and energy resolutions. CNM staff scientists drive these scientific themes through their own research programs as well as work with the CNM user community. Academic, industrial and international researchers can access the center through its user program for both nonproprietary and proprietary research. Access is provided at no cost to users for research that is in the public domain and intended for publication.

Congratulations CNM staff and users! In a recent Nature Sustainability publication, researchers have manipulated the chemical composition of materials to make polymers more recyclable. The team developed a strategy to design biodegradable and recyclable luminescent polymers with high light-emitting efficiencies. They did so by incorporating a chemical called tert-butyl ester into the luminescent polymers which can break down when exposed to heat or mild acid. Check out this Argonne Press Release for more information: https://lnkd.in/gbSVDTh2 #nanoscience #materialsscience Authors: Wei Liu, Yukun Wu, Katerina Vriza, Cheng Zhang, Hyocheol Jung, Shiyu Hu, Yuepeng Zhang, Du Chen, Peijun Guo, Benjamin T.

Come join the CNM team! The Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking an Assistant Scientist with an emphasis on transformational research enabled through the use and development of advanced electron microscopy techniques. The candidate will be responsible for two areas of equal emphasis, following a “50/50” model of time commitment both to staff-led science and user research. The first area will be developing a world-leading experimental program based on harnessing the capabilities of advanced electron microscopy techniques with an emphasis on time resolved and in situ methods aligned with CNM strategic scientific directions. Potential research areas include, but are not limited to; systems for sustainable energy harvesting, storage, transduction or catalysis, and novel microelectronics or quantum information sciences.

Congratulations Soham! Soham Saha, a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Nanoscale Materials, is one of three Argonne National Laboratory postdocs invited to the Nobel Laureate Meetings in Lindau Germany. His current research focuses on converting laser light into small, adjustable X-ray sources. He is exploring methods to generate X-rays that would make the beams far easier to access across a range of scientific fields. Check out this Argonne Press Release for more information about his journey to Lindau: https://lnkd.in/gFPd_kP7

Welcome Jithin! Jithin Francis Cherunilam, Ph.D. is the newest staff member at the Center for Nanoscale Materials. He received his B. Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kerala, India. He did his M. Eng. from the School of Electronic Engineering, Dublin City University (DCU) followed by his Ph.D. while working as a researcher at the National Centre for Plasma Science and Technology, Dublin, Ireland. He then worked as the Lab in charge for the Nanomaterials Processing Laboratory at DCU. Before joining Argonne National Laboratory in the Nanofabrication and Devices Group, Jithin worked on contract as the Cleanroom Equipment Engineering Shift Lead at Meta for their Optics and Display Research division within Reality Labs. As the Cleanroom Coordinator at the Center for Nanoscale Materials he will serve as a central person supporting overall operations of the cleanroom and will support a dynamic team of scientists and engineers with diverse expertise in synthesis, processing of materials and nanofabrication as well as users from universities, national labs and industry.
