The major theme of the MRSEC research and education programs at the Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR) is Mastery of Materials at the Atomic and Molecular Level. The objective is to educate scientists and engineering students (largely PhD students) and postdoctoral researchers in the methods of research used to tackle cutting edge problems in materials research. At the same time CCMR manages and maintains a set of shared experimental facilities that enable this research to be carried out; these facilities are also actively used by a wide spectrum of researchers from across the campus, from other Universities, Government Laboratories and Industry. CCMR also has an expansive and effective educational outreach program that helps students and teachers from primary, secondary and local colleges to learn about materials sciences, recent advances and how to integrate this new knowledge into the classroom. Finally, CCMR's Industrial Partnerships program speeds the transition of new scientific discoveries into technologies that can promote economic growth and opportunities.Our research is organized into teams focused on several specific topics, including: Controlling Electrons at Interfaces, "Building Blocks" for Photonic Systems, and the Study of the Dynamics of Growth of Complex Materials. CCMR also manages a "Seed Program" that supports smaller short term activities that explore high-risk/high-payoff areas and that integrates new faculty into our interdisciplinary culture. Our long term goal is to control materials systems at or near the level of atomistic precision (atom identity and geometric placement), as is possible in the synthesis of some organic molecules. Our vision is that such control will allow precision tuning of properties and is likely to uncover vast new areas of science, to facilitate the construction of a wide variety of novel devices, and to enable technologies not presently imagined. The proposed research capitalizes on unique science we recently developed, substantially extends the effort in new and ground breaking directions, and explores entirely new topics; all require new talents, new skills and new senior investigators.

康奈尔材料研究中心（CCMR）的MRSEC研究和教育计划的主要主题是原子和分子水平的材料掌握。其目的是教育科学家和工程专业的学生（主要是博士生）和博士后研究人员的研究方法，用于解决材料研究中的前沿问题。与此同时，CCMR管理和维护一套共享的实验设施，使这项研究得以进行;这些设施也被来自校园，其他大学，政府实验室和行业的广泛研究人员积极使用。CCMR还有一个广泛而有效的教育推广计划，帮助小学，中学和当地大学的学生和教师了解材料科学，最新进展以及如何将这些新知识融入课堂。最后，CCMR的产业合作伙伴计划加速了新科学发现转化为技术，从而促进经济增长和机遇。我们的研究分为几个小组，专注于几个特定的主题，包括：控制界面上的电子，光子系统的“构建块”，以及复杂材料生长动力学的研究。CCMR还管理着一个“种子计划”，支持探索高风险/高回报领域的小型短期活动，并将新教师融入我们的跨学科文化。我们的长期目标是控制材料系统达到或接近原子级精度（原子身份和几何位置），这在某些有机分子的合成中是可能的。我们的愿景是，这种控制将允许精确调整属性，并有可能发现广阔的新科学领域，以促进各种各样的新设备的构建，并使目前无法想象的技术成为可能。拟议的研究利用了我们最近开发的独特科学，在新的和突破性的方向上大大扩展了努力，并探索了全新的主题;所有这些都需要新的人才，新的技能和新的高级研究人员。
