Building
on the strengths of Sandia and Los Alamos to address the national grand
challenges of nanoscience and technology, CINT has identified five research
themes that serve as integrated synergistic building blocks. Through
our discussions with potential CINT collaborators, particularly at our
recent CINT Planning Workshop, we have engaged the broader scientific
community in developing and refining these themes as follows.
Research Themes
The nano-bio-micro-interfaces theme
will import biological principles and functions into artificial bio-mimetic
nano- and microsystems.
Precise control of electronic and photonic wavefunctions to invoke novel
and unique properties drives the nanophotonics
and nanoelectronics theme.
Complex functional nanomaterials will promote complex and
collective interactions between individual components in materials to
yield emergent properties and functions.
Understanding the underlying mechanisms of mechanical behavior of nanoscale
materials and structures is the objective of the nanomechanics
theme.
Theory and simulation will provide
state-of-the-art computational resources needed to address complex,
multiple length-scale problems.
