Materials
Research into the nature of materials promises to revolutionize many areas of modern life, from power generation and transmission to transportation to the production of faster, smaller, more versatile computers and storage devices. Materials science is an interdisciplinary field that incorporates chemistry, physics, and engineering both to provide a deeper understanding of existing materials and to allow for the design of new materials with predetermined properties.
Computational scientists are using the supercomputers at the National Center for Computational Sciences to study the nature of materials at the smallest possible scale.
