Materials have driven the digital revolution. Understanding and controlling silicon has allowed us to make smaller devices that perform better; an iPhone has more computing power than a PC had ten years ago. For this remarkable trend to continue future devices will need to utilise novel physics and be made from new materials. We will grow crystals of organic molecules, whose properties derive from the correlated motion of the electrons in these materials. State-of-the-art 'neutron scattering' experiments will test theories of the way the electrons behave in these materials. We will answer fundamental questions, which is an important first step towards harnessing such effects for future technology.

材料推动了数字革命。理解和控制硅使我们能够制造出性能更好的更小的设备; iPhone的计算能力比十年前的PC还要强。为了让这一显着趋势继续下去，未来的设备将需要利用新的物理学并由新材料制成。我们将生长有机分子的晶体，其性质来自于这些材料中电子的相关运动。最先进的“中子散射”实验将测试电子在这些材料中的行为理论。我们将回答基本问题，这是为未来技术利用这种影响的重要第一步。
