ABOUT US 2008 ANNUAL REPORT
Complementary ORNL Facilities
Research capabilities at HFIR and SNS are
enhanced by the proximity of other ORNL user
facilities, most with the same access and training
requirements. One of our major goals is to improve
integration between the facilities, making it easier
for users to access the support they need. Major
user facilities at ORNL include the following:
› Center for Structural Molecular Biology
(CSMB)
› Bio-Deuteration Laboratory
› Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences
(CNMS)
› National Center for Computational Sciences
(NCCS)
› Shared Research Equipment User Facility
(SHaRE)
› High Temperature Materials Laboratory

Center for Structural Molecular Biology
(www.cnms.ornl.gov)
CSMB operates the HFIR Bio-SANS instrument. The
center develops technologies and methodologies for
the structural molecular biology research community
and computational tools to reduce, analyze, model,
and interpret SANS data.
ORNL NEUTRON SCIENCES neutrons.ornl.gov
The NCCS “Jaquar” supercomputer.
Bio-Deuteration Laboratory
(www.csmb.ornl.gov/Bio-Deuteration)
The Bio-Deuteration Laboratory was designed for in
vivo production of hydrogen/deuterium–labeled biomacromolecules.
The laboratory provides facilities
and expertise for cloning, protein expression, purification,
and characterization of deuterium-labeled
biological macromolecules.
Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences
(www.cnms.ornl.gov/)
CNMS is a research facility for nanoscale science
and technology. The center allows users access to a
complete suite of unique capabilities for studying
nanoscale materials and assemblies.
CNMS employees work with materials
100,000 times smaller than a human hair.
