IGPPS/LANL makes a special effort to promote and support new research ideas, which can be further developed through seed funding into major programs supported by federal or other funding sources. IGPPS also supports feasibility studies, in order to assess the potential for seed projects to rapidly advance to new capabilities and program growth._d6124ac2-3af8-11e4-aac3-d4d17966db69Lighter Actinide ElementsIntegrate research programs on the chemical, physical, nuclear, and metallurgical properties of the lighter actinide elements, with a special emphasis on plutonium._d6124b8a-3af8-11e4-aac3-d4d17966db696Seaborg InstituteThe Los Alamos branch of the Institute integrates research programs on the chemical, physical, nuclear, and metallurgical properties of the lighter actinide elements, with a special emphasis on plutonium. The Institute serves as a national center for the education and training of students, visiting scientists, and faculty at all educational levels in transactinium science.Transactinium Scientists_d6124cde-3af8-11e4-aac3-d4d17966db69Nonlinear & Complex SystemsConduct and support basic scientific research in nonlinear and complex systems phenomena and promote their use in applied research programs._d6124da6-3af8-11e4-aac3-d4d17966db697Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS)The primary activity of the Center is conduct and support basic scientific research in nonlinear and complex systems phenomena and promote their use in applied research programs. CNLS chooses a small number (two to three) focus topics periodically and directs a major portion of its research capabilities into these strategically important areas. The focus areas are determined by the Executive Committee, and they are chosen by taking into consideration both the Laboratory's needs for basic science relevant to mission-critical programs and the need to stay abreast of emerging and potentially important developments in complex systems research.Current Focus Areas:Complex networks: Communication Networks, Networks in Biology, Social Networks. Structure, Dynamics, and Function. Soft condensed matter: Fluid Dynamics, Granular Materials, Colloids. Theory and Simulation of Turbulent Flows. Nonlinear phenomena: Nonlinear excitations in materials. Reaction-Diffusion Systems. Nonlinear Optics and Spectroscopy. etc._d6124f22-3af8-11e4-aac3-d4d17966db69NanostructuresExplore the path from scientific discovery to the integration of nanostructures into the micro- and macro-worlds._d6124fea-3af8-11e4-aac3-d4d17966db698Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT)The CINT focuses on exploring the path from scientific discovery to the integration of nanostructures into the micro- and macro-worlds. This path involves experimental and theoretical exploration of behavior, understanding new performance regimes and concepts, testing designs, and integrating nanoscale materials and structures. CINT focus areas are nanophotonics and nanoelectronics, complex functional nanomaterials, nanomechanics, and the nanoscale/bio/microscale interfaces. CINT is jointly administered by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Sandia National Laboratories.
