Abstract

The regime of mesoscale science, where the granularity of atoms and quantization of energy gives way to apparently continuous and infinitely divisible matter and energy, yields strikingly complex architectures, phenomena, and functionalities that control macroscopic material behavior. Research in mesoscale materials and chemical science is an opportunity space for next-generation discovery, science, technology, and innovation, with promise of new solutions for societal problems such as energy, environment, climate, advanced manufacturing, and economic growth.
