Challenges & Applications - Centre for Materials Science

Materials Challenges

We address the pressing challenges of our times through the following four avenues.

Value-added materials

WE enhance the performance and functions of existing materials by combining knowledge from physics, chemistry, and engineering

Characterisation & Testing

We advance technologies to improve how we analyze molecules and structures and to better understand how particles interact with materials

Fabrication & Prototyping

Exploring the design space of products and devices to enable creative and practical discoveries

Frontier Materials

We create and develop new materials, from simple molecules to complex structures, using basic scientific principles

Materials Applications

We contribute to improving services, treatments, processes and products with great economic, environmental and societal impacts across several application fields.
