One of the greatest challenges in current science is to learn how the structure and properties of individual molecules determine those of materials composed of large numbers of molecules in association. A full understanding of this relationship will allow molecular materials with desirable properties to be made by design, creating opportunities for breakthroughs in many areas of technology. Unfortunately, developing this understanding remains an elusive goal, in part because intermolecular interactions are typically weak, complex, and hard to control. In general, the structures and properties of molecular materials are impossible to predict reliably, even when the most powerful current computational techniques are used.

当前科学中最大的挑战之一是了解单个分子的结构和性质如何决定由大量分子缔合组成的材料的结构和性质。对这种关系的充分理解将使人们能够通过设计制造出具有理想性能的分子材料，为许多技术领域的突破创造机会。不幸的是，发展这种理解仍然是一个难以实现的目标，部分原因是分子间相互作用通常很弱、复杂和难以控制。一般来说，即使使用当前最强大的计算技术，也不可能可靠地预测分子材料的结构和性质。
