The Center for Next Generation of Material Design
An Energy Frontier Research Center
Dramatically transforming the predictive discovery and synthesis of novel functional energy materials, including metastable structures.
CNGMD will dramatically advance Materials Design
by bridging four critical scientific gaps:
Multiple-property design • Accuracy and relevance • Metastability • Synthesizability
CNGMD's Mission
The Center for Next Generation of Materials Design (CNGMD) was an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science from 2014-2020. CNGMD’s objective was to dramatically transform the discovery of functional energy materials through multiple-property search, incorporation of metastable materials into predictive design, and the development of theory to guide materials synthesis.
