ZPEnergy.com - Science hub gets under way

The Department of Energy is building a new facility in Albuquerque that will let it share its high-tech toys with the rest of the nation.

In the past, access to those toys has been limited. People in the academic community and scientists at New Mexico's national laboratories have had problems collaborating because lab security and classified science must be protected.

On Tuesday, DOE began an effort to change that. It started construction on the Center for Integrated Nanotechnology, which is designed to make those collaborations much easier - and to put the United States at the forefront of a science many experts feel is the future of worldwide industry and technology...

The $76 million project features a 95,000-square-foot hub outside the gates of Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque and a smaller 30,000-square-foot satellite center in Los Alamos.

The buildings will house office space, labs, high-tech microscopes and computers to let researchers work with, model and investigate nanotechnology materials.

"We've already started the research on a limited scale," said Terry Michalske, director of the Center for Integrated Nanotechnology. "We have people working with us from the outside on about 35 projects, although there will be a lot more once the facility is built."

Construction is scheduled for completion in 2006, he said.

"We're going to see a lot of science come out of here that impacts everyone's lives," Michalske said. "Some things we're working on are new energy technologies, new ways to clean the environment and water supply, and new information technologies."
