Crisp: The Center for Research on Interface Structures and Phenomena, Yale University

摘要

I wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Martin Ottmar and his colleagues for offering us the privilege of preparing this special issue of Advanced Materials dedicated to research at CRISP. CRISP was established in 2005 through a grant from the U. S. National Science Foundation MRSEC (Materials Research Science and Engineering Center) program. The NSF-MRSEC program has been outstandingly successful over many years, currently supporting 27 university-based centers pursuing forefront, multidisciplinary materials research of a scope and complexity that would not be feasible under traditional funding of individual research projects.
