Abstract

Materials are designed from the bottom up by using a close coupling of experiment and powerful computations to generate a new class of materials, atom by atom. Imagine the ability to integrate powerful concepts of living organisms - self-organization, ability to selfheal, and flexibility to create astounding properties from inexpensive and abundant materials. The use of the world´s fastest supercomputers allows us to predict properties of complex materials from first principles, realized in a multiscale modeling approach that spans massive ranges in scale. A comprehensive review of design applications is presented for: 1. structural materials, bone and light weight composites, 2. electronic applications as thin metal films, and 3. multifunctional sensors for temperature and stress measurement.
