Topic: Molecular Foundry

	Welcome to the Molecular Foundry at Berkeley Lab
		The Molecular Foundry 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.

	Today at Berkeley Lab: Berkeley Lab Dedicates the Molecular Foundry
		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 Molecular Foundry is the first of five proposed U.S. Department of Energy Nanoscale Science Research Centers and the only one on the West Coast.
		The Molecular Foundry 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.

		Called a “user facility,” the Molecular Foundry at the Lawrence Berkeley lab allows scientists from around the world to reserve space at the lab to conduct their research on its state-of-the-art equipment.
		The foundry, which is one of the newest in the laboratory complex, is composed of six different departments ranging from the imaging of nanostructures to the research and development of biological nanostructures.
		Some members of the group said they were impressed by the setup of the foundry, but disappointed that the majority of the technology wasn’t geared toward life sciences as the delegation was.

		By spring, the $84-million Molecular Foundry on the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) campus will allow staff and visiting scientists to begin making new types of nano-scale material — and to help "fact check" existing ones, says Steven Chu, director of the LBNL in Berkeley, California.
		The Molecular Foundry is recruiting two broad categories of scientists — one to help visiting users tap into the centre's nanofabrication capabilities and another to conduct research on nanostructures.
		He adds that the foundry's access to unique computing and imaging resources, as well as its programme of constructing both published molecules and new ones, will attract top people in the field.

		The Molecular Foundry is a Department of Energy user facility that is planned for Berkeley Lab.
		Its underlying premise is that nanoscience research is advancing beyond the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured “building blocks,” to the primary challenge of the next decade: the construction of complex functional assemblies of these building blocks.
		This will be an especially important session because the Department of Energy has provided, in the FY 2002 budget, substantial funding to begin the design of the Foundry, and this is the most critical time for us to hear advice from the community.
