Much of modern technology is based upon knowledge of condensed matter physics and materials science, with progress in this area driven by the ongoing discovery of materials with particular, useful physical properties. For example, condensed matter physics by discovering and understanding liquid crystals, transistors, and magnetic devices allows it to work high index of refraction lenses, so we can have a little camera in the pocket. The smart phone has literally 100 of different materials that have been discovered, optimized, and refined to allow us to chat with friends and family. Materials synthesis lays the foundation for all other research in condensed matter physics, and materials are the linchpin for technologies ranging from the energy sector, to medical devices, to sensing, communications and information technologies. While the importance of materials growth has long been recognized, a shortage of high quality materials synthesis has been identified as a weakness in North American science.

大部分现代技术都是基于凝聚态物理学和材料科学的知识，这一领域的进展是由不断发现具有特殊有用物理性质的材料所推动的。例如，凝聚态物理学通过发现和理解液晶、晶体管和磁性器件，使其能够工作在高折射率透镜上，所以我们可以在口袋里装一个小相机。智能手机实际上有100种不同的材料，这些材料已经被发现，优化和改进，使我们能够与朋友和家人聊天。材料合成为凝聚态物理学的所有其他研究奠定了基础，材料是从能源部门到医疗设备，再到传感，通信和信息技术等技术的关键。虽然材料增长的重要性早已被认识到，但高质量材料合成的短缺已被确定为北美科学的弱点。
