"Collaborative Access Teams, or CATs, are teams of scientists from PNNL* and industry, universities, and other laboratories who will work together using EMSL's* facilities and equipment to rigorously focus on one area of high-impact research, such as oxide chemistry or structural biology. Results of this focused team concept will help solve larger scientific problems, while bringing new science capability to EMSL and providing opportunities for expanding EMSL's user base".
