Can mathematics be used to discover materials? The answer is "yes" in a few cases, and theory developed at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences has played an important role. We discuss some examples, then look to the future. We theorize about whether there might be a common mathematical ramework for discovering new materials of the type that are under such intense study today: carbon nanotubes, buckyballs, the capsids and tails of viruses, and many structures now being synthesized by the methods of nanotechnology.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
