Our mission is to build materials one atom at a time.
Burns’ electronic and advanced materials (BEAM) lab uses atomic-scale analysis of materials to solve problems in space exploration, global energy problems, defense applications, and device performance. We are always excited to welcome new members to the team, join us in our journey to innovation.
Innovating at the Atomic Scale
The Beam Lab is dedicated to advancing materials science by modifying atomic arrangements with high-energy beams. Our research drives real-world applications in space exploration, energy sustainability, and defense technologies by modifying the atomic arrangement of crystals with energetic particles. Through rigorous experimentation and collaboration, we are shaping the future of materials research.
