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.

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.
