Duke University's Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine & Allied Sciences
Exterior view of the Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Allied Sciences at Duke University, which houses a powerful computer cluster used to predict recipes for new materials by the Center for Autonomous Materials Design led by Dr. Stefano Curtarolo. Recent research, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, has resulted in 900 new formulations of high-performance materials that could, for example, create electronics capable of withstanding being dropped in molten lava.
