Quantum Science and Engineering Center
Nanoscale Science Research Using Particle Beam Accelerators.
The Quantum Science and Engineering Center (QSEC) contributes to the fields of material science, medicine, energy, and environment using highly functional quantum beams such as ion beams, electron beam, and X-rays from particle accelerators. QSEC uses these resources to observe phenomena at the atomic level and to promote the development of new materials and devices with advanced functionality. Further, the QSEC’ s particle accelerator is widely open to the public to supports advanced education and cutting-edge research.
At the nuclear fuel facility, QSEC is working on fundamental research on nuclear fuel cycle technology.
