Materials with chemical, optical, and electronic properties driven by structures measuring billionths of a meter could lead to improved energy technologies—from more efficient solar cells to longer-lasting energy-dense batteries. Scientific instruments such as those at Brookhaven Lab's Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) and the just-opened National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), both DOE Office of Science User Facilities, offer new ways to study materials at this nanometer length scale—including as they operate in actual devices.
