The projects in this group all involve the control and understanding of material properties on nanometer length scales. Some of us develop new chemical approaches to forming uniform nanocrystals and highly ordered porous solids. Others focus on using these materials as tools for answering fundamental questions about nature, such as the characteristic length scales in glasses and liquids. Finally, all of our materials research may impact emerging technologies in areas as diverse as bioinformatics and photonics. We are committed to exploring these exciting directions and identifying the underlying scientific issues which will be central to their eventual success.
