Funded Activity Summary

The First Chemically Accurate Tools in Theoretical Materials Research. Non-metallic materials are widely used in catalytic, separation and sensing applications. This project will create a new, accurate, general and systematic approach to the computational study of non-metallic materials and will provide an enormous step forward in our ability to design these materials for specific applications. With ever increasing demand, growing world population and shrinking natural resources, the benefits of such rational materials design impact on the development of new, safer, more efficient, reusable materials in chemical, engineering, electronic and biological applications.
