Last total enacted budget

Specific budget details for CINT alone are not publicly available, as it is part of the budgets for Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories.

Staff

CINT's staff includes researchers, technical staff, and administrative personnel from both partnering laboratories, facilitating both internal and external research.

Funding

CINT receives funding from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, supporting its operations, research, and user programs.

Services provided

CINT provides services that include the synthesis and characterization of nanostructures, their integration into larger systems, and theoretical modeling to predict and understand material behavior. These services are crucial for developing new technologies across multiple fields.

Regulations overseen

CINT does not oversee regulations but operates within DOE guidelines for research and facility management.

Headquarters address

CINT's mailing address is 1610 Old Pecos Trail, Santa Fe, NM 87505, though it operates at sites in both Los Alamos and Albuquerque.

History

Founded in 2005, CINT has been pivotal in bridging nanotechnology with practical applications, supporting a wide range of research from basic science to applied technology. Its unique dual-location structure allows for extensive collaboration and resource sharing between two of the nation's premier research labs.
