JCESR’s focus has changed to building transformational materials from the bottom up, atom-by-atom and molecule-by-molecule, where each atom or molecule plays a prescribed role in producing the desired overall materials performance. We could not have done this 10 years ago when the advanced scientific tools we are now using did not yet exist. We are working to discover new material structures with behaviors that have never been seen before—that we will be able to model and produce with our bottom up, atom-by-atom approach.
