Bring modern, new technologies ( example: ALD) to bear on our future detectors & sensors “Materials” means: Tap into ENORMOUS potential of materials by design, nano-materials, self assembling structures, thin film developments; we ask/specify, they are challenged & deliver. Plans: Attempt transformational developments that enable new and more precise ways to measure. In one word: enable more and better experimental science Summary & both gain, lot of expertise at national labs Infrastructure and expertise at Argonne is available to whole community, labs are a resource for whole field.
