About

Complex material properties and function can emerge from the interplay between multiple underlying physical phenomena. A full understanding of these phenomena, which is needed for material design and optimization, requires multiple probes observing the same system either simultaneously or in series.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory co-locates two world leading user facilities for the microscopic study of material properties: the Molecular Foundry and the Advanced Light Source. Increasingly, researchers are utilizing both facilities to study a range of physical phenomena within the same material system in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the material’s properties. This growing community requires the development of experimental methods to enable cross-facility measurements and advanced data analysis methods to extract quantitative correlations between diverse data streams.

This forum will bring together researchers who are developing such methods and will provide a perspective on new strategic directions within Berkeley Lab.

Discuss new infrastructure (instruments and facilities) and data analysis methods which will enable scientific discovery by correlated microscopy of various techniques at the national labs. Connect to Lab initiatives like potential new facilities on Charter Hill and consider strategic collaborations.
