The following discussion highlights selected recent accomplishments at the NCNR and assesses future opportunities in several areas of investigation. Overall, a high level of technical merit characterizes the neutron science at NIST, and the NCNR addresses a host of national priorities related to basic science and applied technologies.

FeAs, staff members at the NCNR quickly arranged to obtain powder diffraction patterns, and subsequently inelastic scattering data, during a weekend. It became rapidly apparent that they had determined the essential structural properties of a new type of superconducting material.

For example, the large community of computational scientists deriving dynamic features of macromolecular function might consider modeling cases in which large conformational changes attend biological functions and making corresponding dynamic measurements, as in the kinase family. Work on membrane bilayers might include studies of the drug interactions that are a key to cellular entry; it should be possible to generally broaden the range of important membrane surface interactions studied with supported bilayers.
