Calculating and predicting the properties of materials
Conference

OSTI ID:5728691
Using microscopic theory, it is now possible to predict the structures and properties of real materials from first principles. This breakthrough was brought about by recent advances in the theory of the electronic structure of solids and by the availability of supercomputers. Many researchers in the field believe we are at the beginning of an era where we will be capable of designing materials with desirable properties using quantum theory and computers.
