DESCRIPTION:Prof. Berend Smit\nDirector of the Energy Center and Laborator
 y of molecular simulation\, Faculty of Basic Science\, EPFL\nIt is now pos
 sible to make an enormous spectrum of different\, novel nanoporous materia
 ls simply by changing the building blocks in the synthesis of Metal Organ
 ic Frameworks (MOF) or related materials. This unique chemical tunability 
 allows us to tailor-make materials that are optimal for a given applicati
 on. The promise of finding just the right material seems remote however: b
 ecause of practical limitations we can only ever synthesize\, characteriz
 e\, and test a tiny fraction of all possible materials. To take full advan
 tage of this development\, therefore\, we need to develop alternative tec
 hniques\, collectively referred to as Materials Genomics\, to rapidly scre
 en large numbers of materials and obtain fundamental insights into the ch
 emical nature of the ideal material for a given application. In this prese
 ntation we will show how one can use this approach to find materials for 
 a range of different energy-related applications.
