A Facility for Discovery of Next-Generation Materials

The Matter-Radiation Interactions in Extremes (MaRIE) experimental facility, the first in a proposed new generation of scientific facilities for the materials community, will be used to discover and design the advanced materials needed to meet 21st century national security and energy security challenges.

Specifically, MaRIE will provide the tools scientists need to develop next-generation materials that will perform predictably and on demand for currently unattainable lifetimes in extreme environments.

MaRIE's Capabilities

MaRIE will provide the scientific community with unique capabilities to

• provide unprecedented time- and space-resolved measurements on scales most acutely needed for modeling and simulation;
• create extreme conditions of relevance, particularly irradiation environments; and
• create synthesis and characterization tools needed to design, discover, and control materials on these scales.
