Institute of Structural and Functional Modulation of Matter is based on the strategic positioning of “focusing on original fundamental research, strengthening innovation, and promoting the transformation of scientific”, guided by relevant national strategic, basic, and forward-looking major scientific issues, and leaded by national demands in the fields of materials, energy, and biomedicine. The institute will take “building a first-class platform and gathering first-class talents" to serve the major strategies of our country, such as "innovation-driven development", "three orientations" and "One Belt One Road", and give full energy to the strategic support of basic research. The research institute studies the different hierarchical structures, interactions and performance manipulations of substances from multiple microscopic scales such as atoms, molecules, and nanometers, revealing new laws and new effects, and promote breakthroughs in core and key technologies in the fields of materials, energy, and advanced manufacturing equipment. The institute will focus on the development of cutting-edge scientific research, the transformation of key core technologies, the key point of "stuck neck" issues, and the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, providing our passion for the technological transformation and innovation development, and successfully realizing collaborative development from the basic research and original innovation to applied research.
