Argonne builds and maintains scientific facilities that would be too expensive for a single company or university to construct and operate. These facilities are used by scientists from Argonne, private industry, academia, other national laboratories and international scientific organizations.

*[[Advanced Photon Source]] (APS): a national [[synchrotron light source|synchrotron X-ray]] research facility which produces the brightest [[X-ray]] beams in the [[Western Hemisphere]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.aps.anl.gov/About/APS_Overview/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090926051335/http://www.aps.anl.gov/About/APS_Overview/|url-status=dead|title=Argonne About the APS|archivedate=September 26, 2009}}</ref>
*[[Center for Nanoscale Materials]] (CNM): a user facility located on the APS which provides infrastructure and instruments to study [[nanotechnology]] and [[nanomaterials]]. The CNM is one of five U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Nanoscale Science Research Centers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.er.doe.gov/bes/user_facilities/dsuf/nanocenters.htm |work=Department of Energy |title= Nanoscale Science Research Centers: Scientific User Facilities Division |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091208115550/http://www.er.doe.gov/bes/user_facilities/dsuf/nanocenters.htm |archive-date=2009-12-08 }}</ref>
*[[Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System]] (ATLAS): ATLAS is the world's first superconducting [[linear accelerator|particle accelerator]] for heavy ions at energies in the vicinity of the [[Coulomb barrier]]. This is the energy domain suited to study the properties of the nucleus, the core of matter and the fuel of stars.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.phy.anl.gov/atlas/|title=Argonne Physics Division – ATLAS|website=phy.anl.gov|access-date=20 June 2018}}</ref>
