Our Mission: The core scientific goal of the MPI CPfS is to work at the forefront of modern solid state chemistry and physics.  A particular focus is on the interface between the two fields of research.  Key open questions include understanding the interplay of topology and symmetry in modern materials, maximizing control in materials synthesis, understanding the nature of intermetallic compounds, and studying giant response functions at the boundary between the metallic and superconducting states.  This fundamental research provides the basis for future application-oriented work.
