Mechanism-led research across materials classes and scales.
Research is organized around the relationships between composition, structure, processing, properties, and performance—not isolated instruments or fashionable labels.
Connected through one multiscale engineering framework.
A complete materials landscape.
Each domain is linked through shared questions about synthesis, structure, mechanism, characterization, computation, performance, and translation.
