If you made it to NYU-Poly's Commencement this year, you had the privilege of listening to U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu deliver the keynote speech. Dr. Chu oversees the Department of Energy (DOE) as it ensures America's security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges. The DOE is the top sponsor of research on promising technologies and has won more research and development awards than any private sector organization. All the valuable R & D results produced by the DOE are collected and preserved by the Office of Scientific & Technical Information.

The Office of Scientific & Technical Information (OSTI) has long been dedicated to the principle that research must be shared in order to advance science. Today, the OSTI provides access to scientific and technical information using web-based searchable databases, offering ever-expanding sources of R&D information to the research community.

To make it easy to search the abundance of DOE scientific and technical information, OSTI developed the Science Accelerator. The DOE's resource collections reside in the deep web where popular search engines don't go. You can search the entire suite of DOE resources using one search interface thanks to the Science Accelerator.  Try it out using the search widget below:
