CNMS Research Themes

The CNMS research theme strategy focuses on developing new techniques for creating materials and structures, using new methods to explore materials properties, and advancing Department of Energy Office of Science initiatives including microelectronics, QIS, and the Genesis Mission. The science portfolio is underpinned by CNMS's strengths in theory, precision synthesis, imaging, and AI/ML (for example, data analytics and autonomous experiments).
