U.S. Department of Energy
What is the Office of
Science?
Office of Science
The Office of Science is the primary source of support
for the Physical Sciences.
Provides over 40% of federal support to the physical sciences (e.g. 90% of
High Energy & Nuclear Physics, 60% of Catalysis, 25% of Nanoscience)
Provides sole support to select sub-fields (e.g. nuclear medicine, heavy
element chemistry, magnetic fusion)
Manages long term, high risk, multidisciplinary science programs to
support DOE missions.
Directly supports the research of 15,000 PhDs, PostDocs and Graduate
Students.
Constructs and operates large scientific facilities for the
U.S. scientific community.
Accelerators, light & neutron sources, nanotechnology research centers.
• Used by more than 19,000 researchers every year.
Infrastructure support for ten Science laboratories.

Office of Science
Scientific
Discovery Through
21st Century
Computation
Develop computer
architectures and
leadership class
machines that will
dramatically improve
hardware
performance on
DOE scientific
problems.
Develop scientific
simulation codes to
fully exploit the
capabilities of
terascale computers
for DOE problems.
For Simulation of:
- Climate
- Nano-Materials
- Protein Folding
- Cell Functions via
Genomics: GTL
- Origins of Mass
(QCD)
- Quark-Gluon
Plasma
- Burning Fusion
Plasma
- Combustion
Revolutionary
New Materials
Through
Nanoscience
Five Nanoscale
Research Centers
linked to large
scientific research
instruments at the
DOE National
Labs to enable:
- High Efficiency
energy storage
& conversion.
- Miniature
sensors.
- Nanocatalysts
with enhanced
specificity and
reactivity.
- Novel materials
that are light
weight, strong
and
conductive.
- Low cost, highefficiency
photovoltaic
cells.
- Low activation
materials for
hightemperature
applications
National Security, a
Clean Environment
& Energy Security
Through Basic
Research
Begin construction of
ITER to demonstrate
the feasibility of
fusion energy.
Improved hydrogen
production, storage,
and use
New materials for
lighter weight
vehicles, more
efficient engines,
more efficient
photovoltaic cells.
Harnessing
microbes, microbial
communities, and
other organisms to
produce energy,
sequester carbon,
and remediate
hazardous waste
sites.
Uncovering the
Origins of Time
and Matter
Understand the
origins of the
Universe:
- Mass
- Accelerating
Universe/Dark
energy
- Dark Matter
- Dominance of
Matter over
Anti-matter
- Gravity
Create the quarkgluon plasma that
existed
immediately after
the “Big Bang”,
providing
fundamental
insights into the
evolution of the
early universe.
Understand the
nature of Quarks
and Gluons:
internal structure of
protons and
neutrons.
Tomorrow’s
Science and
Technology
Capabilities
Spallation Neutron
Source: improved
materials.
Hands-on experience
in science and math
research for K-14
teachers;
enhancement of the
diversity of the
scientific workforce.
Protein Production
and Tags Facility:
mass produce
proteins from
microbial genomes,
identify and tag them
to harness microbes
for DOE missions,
e.g.: hydrogen
production, carbon
sequestration,
bioremediation.
Linac Coherent Light
Source: Stop action
imaging of chemical
reactions; structure
determination of
single molecules.
