The 25-member committee has a substantial impact on national scientific programs, supporting more than 2,500 principal investigators in physics, chemistry, geology and biosciences at 165 institutions in 49 states and 14 DOE laboratories.<\/p>\n

The three divisions of Basic Energy Sciences are the largest, or\u00a0among the largest, federally funded programs in their respective areas in the United States.<\/p>\n

Basic Energy Sciences touches virtually every aspect of energy, from production and transmission to conversion and storage. The organization supports DOE missions in energy, environment and national security and conducts fundamental research that will lead to new energy technologies.<\/p>\n

Its employees also construct and operate major scientific facilities to serve researchers from the public and private sectors, including five synchrotron radiation light sources, two neutron beam sources, and five nanoscale science research centers.<\/p>\n

In the past few years, Basic Energy Sciences oversaw construction of the world\u2019s first hard X-ray free-electron laser facility was completed at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Ourmazd leads a group of 51ÁÔÆæ physicists who use the facility in research on imaging single proteins and viruses. The 51ÁÔÆæ group is part of a seven-institution collaboration funded by the National Science Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
