SEVEN
SCIENTIFIC THEMES FOR CNMS
An
outline of the nanoscience research program housed in the CNMS building
is given below. The research is organized under seven Scientific
Themes. Each Scientific Theme supports Research Focus Areas that
were identified through the planning workshop process, as well as
related emerging research. Follow
this link for more detailed descriptions of all seven Themes.
Macromolecular
Complex Systems
- Synthetic
and Bio-Inspired Macromolecular Materials
- Nanophase
Biomaterials Systems
Functional
Nanomaterials
- Nanotubes,
Nanowires, Quantum Dots, and Related Nanostructures
- Artificial
Oxide Film Structures
Nanoscale
Magnetism and Transport
- Magnetism
