The basic strategy of CNTL is to develop and apply cutting-edge theoretical and computational methods and the best available computing resources in attacking challenging problems related to the selection of suitable materials and devices for various IT applications. Laboratory condensed  matter, materials physics and specifically on nano materials, nano devices. This includes modeling and simulation of wide classes of materials and related phenomena, ranging from novel semiconductors to biological and soft matter. The research interests range from electronic and structural properties of materials to their processing as well as to device and systems behavior.
The CNTL, Laboratory of Excellence strives at a multistage approach to condensed-matter and materials research, ranging from the quantum world of ångströms and femtoseconds to macroscopic length and time scales. The research covers such areas as electronic structure and related properties, macroscopic dynamics and transport, and the complex behavior of non-equilibrium and disordered systems. Of particular interest are the nano world phenomena, the understanding of which depends on predictive modeling and simulation.
In addition, the work carried out at CNTL involves research into theoretical methods as well as simulation and computing techniques, such as algorithms, parallel and grid computing, and scientific visualization. Another important project CNTL is looking in to is the nano safe management, which includes the variety of possible technology related threat alarms to the industries and communities.
