Sally Jiao - A chef can spend a lifetime perfecting a recipe: adjusting the ingredients, creating the dish, sampling its flavors, making changes, and trying again. Similarly, a scientist can spend a lifetime perfecting a material. While the world can wait a few decades for the next groundbreaking risotto, the materials we need to solve today’s most pressing energy problems are required much sooner. A number of Energy Frontier Research Centers are exploring ways to leverage theory to create these material “recipes” faster.
