Nanostructured materials for next generation energy supply: Towards atomic design of new metallic alloys

Metallic materials are the backbone of industrialized societies which obtain their competitiveness from providing efficient means of energy conversion, save and weight reduced mobility as well as the manufacturing of complex high tech products and industry processes. New tailor made materials are developed by using computer simulations in conjunction with atomic scale tomography. By this approach new high performance materials are developed based on the atomic principles of matter.
