The Center for the Chemistry of Molecularly Optimized Networks (MONET), a new NSF Center for Chemical Innovation, is funded. Led by Stephen Craig (Duke), the senior investigators include Julia, Jeremiah Johnson (MIT), Brad Olsen (MIT), and Michael Rubinstein (Duke). The center will transform polymer and materials chemistry by developing the knowledge and methods to enable molecular-level, chemical control of polymer network properties. Our vision is to treat networks as complex chemical systems so that the full power of synthetic, physical, and theoretical chemistry is rationally directed toward overarching challenges in de novo molecular network design. For more information, see here.
