The mission of the Center is to stimulate research at Stanford in the area of magnetic nanotechnology, magnetic sensing, and information storage materials, to facilitate collaboration between Stanford scientists and their industrial colleagues, to train well-rounded and highly skilled graduate students, and to develop curricular offerings in the relevant subjects. The center also operate the Magnetics Forum, which provides annual reviews, workshops, short courses, and conferences on magnetics-based technologies including nanotechnology and information storage, and the Nanomagnetics Facility, which provides processing and characterization capabilities for magnetic and other novel materials.

The Stanford Nanocharacterization Laboratory (SNL) is situated within the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM) and is newly affilitated with the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF) and, through SNF, to the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN). The SNL features an FEI Strata 235 Dual Beam SEM/FIB (combined scanning electron microscopy and focused ion beam capabilities), an FEI Sirion SEM, an FEI CM20 FEG-TEM (field emission gun transmission electron microscope) and a Philips X-Pert X-ray Diffractometer, as well as electron microprobe, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and additional x-ray diffraction instrumentation.

The Stanford Chemistry Department is physically and intellectually located at the center of an enormous range of scientific enterprises which offer tremendous opportunities for curious and inventive young scientists. Stanford is also located in the midst of one of the largest concentrations of high-technology corporations in the world. This is an enormous asset to the University, as it provides close ties with industrial laboratories and opportunities for the development of new technologies.

C-SIC is an inorganic chemistry research group that integrates actinide/radioisotope chemistry, inorganic and organometallic synthesis, structural analysis, catalysis, spectroscopy, and surface science capabilities. We focus on scientific innovation and technical solutions to problems in defense, threat reduction, energy, and the environment.

Stuart L. Schreiber is an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Morris Loeb Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University. He is a Founder and Director of ICCB and its affiliated and NCI-sponsored Initiative for Chemical Genetics, (ICG) and a member of the faculty of the Broad Institute (a joint initiative of Harvard University and MIT). Undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral trainees in the Schreiber laboratory over the past twenty plus years have developed systematic ways to explore biology using small molecules (precursors to therapeutic drugs that are used as bioprobes). They have also helped to develop the emerging area of chemical biology, especially through their work in diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) and chemical genetics. Using their chemical approach, they have discovered principles that underlie information transfer and storage in cells.

The Chemical Bonding Center at Massachusetts General Hospital is part of the new National Science Foundation . Chemical Bonding Centers Program and is funded by NSFs division of chemistry . The Center represents a unique, multi-faceted, collaboration among the laboratories of Jack W. Szostak (MGH), Steven A. Benner (University of Florida) and Gerald F. Joyce (The Scripps Research Institute), bringing together different approaches to a major chemical problem. The long-term goal of the Chemical Bonding Center is the synthesis of artificial chemical systems that can undergo Darwinian evolution. Darwinian chemistry requires chemical structures that can support self-replication. The chemical system must then be able to suffer variation in structure while retaining the capacity to replicate. Variations in the structure must themselves be heritable. Darwinian behavior is the natural consequence of a molecular system that displays this combination of properties.

The Chemistry Department conducts basic research in the chemical sciences on subjects ranging from nuclear processes shortly after the big bang, to medical imaging, and many topics in between. Major topics of our research includes: Experimental and theoretical programs studying imaging and neuroscience, Charge transfer for energy conversion, Chemistry with ionizing radiation, Catalysis and surface science, Nanoscience, Combustion, and Nuclear chemistry.

The scientific mission of the Institute is to determine the effects of nano- and micro-particles (e.g., bacteria, natural organic matter, and mineral aggregates) on contaminant transport in geologic systems. The Institute blends the environmental science and engineering expertise and facilities of the university with those at Argonne, Sandia, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, as well as at DuPont Engineering Technology. The Institute integrates traditional macroscopic and microscopic techniques with state-of-the-art molecular-scale approaches such as x-ray absorption spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and molecular dynamics modeling.

Welcome to the X-ray Diffraction Research Group website. We are currently the only chemistry research group at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, and one of the few X-ray groups at an undergraduate institution in the world. Our current research interests include the synthesis and structural characterization of cobalt and iron dioxygen complexes which imitate the active site of hemoglobin and myoglobin, and the X-ray structural characterization of various copper(II) Jahn-Teller complexes. Dr. Charles J. Simmons heads a group of undergraduate students at the University of Hawaii at Hilo in cooperation with the Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS/NIH) program at UHH.
