Non-technical AbstractMany of the materials of great interest and importance for society - including magnets, novel materials for solar energy conversion, biological or biologically inspired materials, and superconductors - exhibit "emergence": their unique and important properties emerge from their subunits such as atoms or proteins in an unforeseen manner from experimental observation. A sensible goal is to elucidate mathematically precise descriptions of the organizing principles describing these phenomena to guide future discovery. This understanding requires an integration of approaches from many disciplines such as physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering, and no one institution - or nation - has the expertise to fully understand these organizing principles by themselves. The Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter brings together distinguished senior scientists from across the US and abroad to cutting edge workshops on emergent phenomena in quantum matter (such as cold atomic condensates and superconductors), soft matter (such as self-replicating materials and active fluids), and biological matter (such as self-assembling biomolecule matrices and quantitative neuroscience) with a goal toward making substantive progress on advancing our understanding of these important problems. These workshops fully integrate young graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to assure that the next generation of emergent materials scientists will be immersed in the process. Technical AbstractAll the ICAM workshops are discussion oriented (at least half the time is set aside for discussion), must include an explicit plan for active participation and engagement of junior scientists, for interaction between senior scientists from diverse disciplines, for video archiving of lectures, and for production of an overview paper from the workshop. When appropriate, workshop organizers must develop a plan to develop inputs to the materials genome initiative for placement of relevant data and software. Workshops are decided in consultation with the ICAM Science Steering committee from among: (i) spin-orbit supermaterials in solids and cold atom condensates, (ii) digital design of quantum materials, (iii) self-replicating materials, (iv) active materials (such as fluids with engineered swimming particles), (v) self-assembly of biological materials for materials applications, (vi) materials science interplay with the quantitative understanding of the brain, or (vii) important new topics proposed by the emergent matter community. This award is supported jointly by the Condensed Matter Physcis and Biomaterials Programs in the Division of Materials Research, the Physics of Living Systems and Computational Physics Programs in the Division of Physics, and the Molecular Biophysics Program in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences

对社会具有极大关注和重要性的材料的非技术抽象者 - 包括磁铁，太阳能转化的新型材料，生物学或生物学启发的材料以及超导体 - 出现：它们的独特和重要特性来自其亚基，例如以实验性观察的方式，以原子或蛋白质的方式出现。 一个明智的目标是阐明描述这些现象以指导未来发现的组织原理的数学精确描述。 这种理解要求将许多学科（例如物理学，生物学，化学和工程学）的方法整合在一起，并且没有一个机构 - 或民族的专业知识可以自己完全理解这些组织原则。 The Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter brings together distinguished senior scientists from across the US and abroad to cutting edge workshops on emergent phenomena in quantum matter (such as cold atomic condensates and superconductors), soft matter (such as self-replicating materials and active fluids), and biological matter (such as self-assembling biomolecule matrices and quantitative neuroscience) with a goal toward making substantive progress on advancing our understanding of这些重要的问题。 这些研讨会充分整合了年轻的研究生和博士后研究人员，以确保下一代新兴的材料科学家将沉浸在此过程中。技术摘要的ICAM研讨会是针对讨论的（至少要预留一半的时间进行讨论），必须包括一个明确的计划，以积极参与和参与初级科学家，以供不同学科的高级科学家之间的互动，用于讲座的视频归档，以及从车间制作概述论文的概述。 在适当的情况下，研讨会组织者必须制定计划，以制定材料基因组计划的投入，以放置相关数据和软件。 讲习班是在与ICAM科学指导委员会协商中的决定，（i）固体和冷原子冷凝物中的旋转轨道超材料，（ii）量子材料的数字设计，（iii）自复制材料，（iv）活性材料（诸如具有工程材料的自动化材料）的活性材料（例如，（v）与生物学材料相加的材料（VI），（VI），（VI），（VI），（VI）（VI（VI）（VI），（VI（VI）（VI），（VI（VI）（VI）（VI），（VI），（VI），则（VI（VI）（VI）（VI），则大脑或（vii）新兴物质社区提出的重要新主题。 该奖项由材料研究部，物理学部中的生命系统和计算物理计划的物理学以及分子和细胞生物科学划分的分子生物物理学计划共同支持了凝结物质物理和生物材料计划。
