Five Grand Challenges for Scienceand the Imagination for BES
• How do we control materials and processes at the level of electrons ?
• How do we design and perfect synthesis of revolutionary new forms of matter with tailored properties ?
• How do remarkable properties of matter emerge from complex correlations of atomic and electronic constituents and how can we control these properties ?
• How can we master energy and information on the nanoscaleto create new technologies with capabilities rivaling those of living systems ?
• How do we characterize and control matter away—especially very far away—from equilibrium ?

C 1s photoelectron spectra of propyne (res: SR~30meV,
lab source ~ 0.5 eV (dashed))
Unambiguous assignment of peaks in propyne spectrum is made possible by characteristic vibrational structure of model compounds(ethyne and ethane)and abinitio theory.
Shift of the methyl (CH3) peak in propyne relative to ethane is due to the electronegativity of the ethyne (HCºC) group.

The discovery of a unique platinum-nickel alloyrepresents a breakthrough in catalyst research: it is 90 times more active than state-of-the-art platinum catalysts currently used.
Top:In standard Pt catalysts absorption of oxygen on the surface is hindered by the binding of other molecules, such as OH. Bottom: In the new material The nickel atoms change the surface properties such that OH cannot bind as well, leaving room for oxygen.

The Next Leap in Computer Size: the Nanoswitch
Rotenberg et al Science, 313, Aug 2006.
Graphene, a single honeycomb layer of carbon, is the building block of graphite, nanotubes, and buckyballs.
Recent experiments at the synchrotron using angle-resolved photoemission demonstrated that is it possible to use a bilayer of graphene as a switch: current flows when the switch is closed (bilayers electronically close together), and does not flow when the switch is open (bilayers electronically separated).
This proves it is possible to build and control an electronic switch as small as two atoms, paving the way for computers at least 100 times smaller than current technology allows.

Improving America’s Billion Dollar Industries: From Paper Coatings to Baby Diapers
DOW Chemical Company funds synchrotron studies on diverse materials in order to characterize new materials and methods for manufacturing. The synchrotron x-ray microscope (STXM) was used to:
…reveal the substructure of hollow latex particles, which helped DOW researchers determine how to make them work as glossing aids in paper coatings
…analyze drug particles that had been enhanced for bioavailabilityto…reveal the phase structure of membranes used purify water.
…characterize super-absorbent polymer materials used in baby diapers
In all these examples, DOW used the experimental results to help develop new process technology for manufacturing plants.

More Powerful Computers for the Information Age
Improved computational power comes from shrinking transistors to squeeze more of them into a microprocessor. Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Lithography is the leading next generation technology to make those continued improvements possible. The pioneering work done with synchrotron radiation has driven this technology forward toward commercialization. Printed image showing
28 nm circuit lines in photoresist
Current technology will allow manufacturers to print circuits as small as 45 nm in width, or 1/2,000th the width of a human hair. EUV lithography technology will extend this down to 22 nm or less, paving the road to 20 GHz computers and beyond.
Funding organizations include SEMATECH, Intel, IBM, AMD, Micron, Samsung, ……..
