FM 22: Focus Session: Materials Discovery III – New materials and functionalities by general principles

Freitag, 13. März 2026, 09:30–12:45, BEY/0138

chairs: Hiroki Taniguchi (Nagoya University, JP), Akitoshi Nakano (Nagoya University, JP)

Discovering new functional materials is crucial to advance today’s technologies, ranging from caloric cooling via catalysis to next-generation energy conversion and storage, such as thermoelectric, ferroelectric, and ionic conductor materials. New materials also form the basis for potential applications in quantum information technologies. This session provides a platform to highlight functional materials discoveries and how they come about. Notably, systematic searches with high-throughput synthesis approaches, as well as predictions from materials informatics, have helped to go beyond serendipitous discoveries in recent years. However, intuition guided by general principles remains an important factor. In this session, we particularly welcome contributions that showcase the discovery of new functional materials with original approaches. Diverse material systems - from well-established to emerging and niche classes across condensed-matter and materials physics - will be featured. Bringing together diverse discoveries in a single session will help delineate general principles and inspire future work.
