Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry

Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry is a research facility focused on creating and studying advanced materials at the nanoscale, which is incredibly small—about a billionth of a meter. Scientists there develop new materials with unique properties for applications in energy, electronics, and medicine. The Foundry combines sophisticated tools and techniques from chemistry, physics, and engineering, enabling researchers to design and manipulate materials at the molecular level. By fostering collaboration among scientists, the facility aims to accelerate innovations that can address pressing global challenges, such as renewable energy, clean water, and health care solutions.
