abstract:Ames Laboratory is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory located in Ames, Iowa and affiliated with Iowa State University. The Laboratory conducts research into various areas of national concern, including the synthesis and study of new materials, energy resources, high-speed computer design, and environmental cleanup and restoration.
Iowa State University, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and AmesLaboratory, in partnership with a network of universities and industrial partners, will be initiating a series of workshops called "Mapping the Materials Genome" focused on identifying the critical research challenges and establishing the experimental and computational techniques by which the "Materials Genome" can in fact be realized.
