Smalley-Curl Institute

The Smalley-Curl Institute mourns the sudden passing of Professor Robert Curl, Nobel Prize winning chemist and one of the Institute's namesakes. Bob was a constant presence in the Institute's life, tirelessly mentoring students and fellow colleagues. He will be deeply missed. Read more here.

SCI is the home of the Applied Physics Graduate Program and of several endowed postdoctoral research fellowships. It participates in establishing strong industrial collaborations, and takes part in novel educational and outreach programs. The Institute assists its members in forging new, cross-cutting and interdisciplinary research areas, and in seeking new means of supporting their work. Research in SCI encompasses advanced materials, quantum magnetism, plasmonics and photonics, biophysics and bioengineering, ultracold atom physics, condensed matter and chemical physics, and all aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
