 Center for Functional Nanomaterials

The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) is a research facility located at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York. It focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and understanding of functional nanomaterials—materials with dimensions at the nanoscale that exhibit unique physical, chemical, or biological properties due to their size. The research conducted at CFN covers a wide range of applications, including energy conversion and storage, environmental remediation, electronics, and biomedicine.
