3 Description	No useful activities. Limited resources that may be useful to curriculum modules The Chicago Materials Research Center / MRSEC addresses fundamental scientific problems of technological significance which require an approach that transcends traditional disciplines. Our Center focuses on two overarching, intertwined issues: the manipulation of structural properties connected through hierarchies of length scales, and the feedback between structural properties and dynamical response. The understanding and control of these issues provides a foundation for the design of next generation functional materials, from cooperative quantum spin systems, self-assembled nanostructures, or microfluidic systems, to bio-inorganic hybrid materials.
