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 Vision
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.
Scientific Discovery Through
21st Century Computation
Revolutionary New Materials
ThroughNanoscience
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, high-efficiency photovoltaic cells.
- Low activation materials for high-temperature applications
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 quark-gluon 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’sScience 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.
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
