Today, efforts are focused on addressing the pressing needs of a range of applications and identifying, understanding, and controlling materials with the potential for enhanced or novel responses. In this prospective, we highlight important developments in theoretical and computational techniques, materials synthesis, and characterization techniques. We explore how these new approaches could revolutionize our ability to discover, probe, and engineer these materials and provide a context for new arenas where these materials might make an impact. © Materials Research Society 2016.}, year = {2016}, journal = {MRS Communications}, volume = {6}, number = {3}, pages = {151-166}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, issn = {21596859}, doi = {10.1557/mrc.2016.29}, note = {cited By 12}, language = {eng}, }
