Experimental and theoretical research pursued in the unit aims at understanding diverse phenomena associated with solids and condensed phases as well as liquids at a fundamental level. Apart from fundamental research, there is also significant emphasis on research activities aimed at development of prototypes for commercialization. Some ongoing cutting-edge research areas pursued in the Unit are as follows:
- Functional materials: synthesis structure-property correlations and device development
- Crystallography and Crystal Engineering
- Surface Science and Catalysis
- Materials Electrochemistry and energy storage and generation
- Many-body Quantum Chemistry
- Molecular Non-linear Optical Materials and Molecular Magnets
- Chemical Biology: Reaction Dynamics
- Statistical Mechanics of Condensed and Liquid Matte
