1 Nanoscale Science Research Centers Modeling Characterization Synthesis Design Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences A highly collaborative program in partnership with Universities, Government Laboratories and the Private Sector Synthesis: The Role of Materials in Discovery

2 Advanced Materials: An Intellectual & Technological Frontier “At each new level of complexity, entirely new properties appear, and the understanding of these behaviors requires research which I think is as fundamental in its nature as any other.” P.W. Anderson “More is Different” (1972) Intellectual FrontierNobel Prizes (since 1970) Theory of superconductivity (1972) Structure of magnetic and disordered systems (1977) Quantum Hall effects (1985, 1998) Development of the STM (1986) High Tc superconductivity (1987) Liquid crystals and polymers (1991) Neutron scattering (1994) Fullerenes (1996) Density functional theory (1998) Integrated circuit (2000) Conducting polymers (2000) Giant Magnetoresistance Spin Valve (1988) The IBM Travelstar disk: 4.1 Gbits/in 2 Theory of superconductivity (1972) Structure of magnetic and disordered systems (1977) Quantum Hall effects (1985, 1998) Development of the STM (1986) High Tc superconductivity (1987) Liquid crystals and polymers (1991) Neutron scattering (1994) Fullerenes (1996) Density functional theory (1998) Integrated circuit (2000) Conducting polymers (2000) Future Nobel Prizes Giant magnetoresistance
