SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Controlling and manipulating matter at

the atomic and molecular scale is the

essence of nanoscale science,

engineering, and technology (NSET).

The BES program has worked with the

National Science and Technology

Council’s Interagency Working Group

on Nanotechnology, with the Basic

Energy Sciences Advisory Committee

(BESAC), and with the broad scientific

community from academia, industry,

and the National Laboratories to define

and articulate the goals of this research.

The BES program in NSET has the

following overarching goals: (1) Attain a

fundamental scientific understanding of

nanoscale phenomena; (2) achieve the

ability to design and synthesize

materials at the atomic level to produce

materials with desired properties and

functions; (3) attain a fundamental

understanding of the natural processes

for the creation of materials and

functional systems to serve as a guide

and a benchmark by which to measure

progress in synthetic design and

synthesis; and (4) develop experimental

characterization tools and theory/
