Centre for the Physics of Materials · McGill University
How do the materials of tomorrow work?
One centre, many scales
From atoms to applications.
Materials shape what is possible. CPM connects experimentalists, theorists, chemists, engineers, and biophysicists to investigate matter across scales.
Our community studies quantum systems, nanostructures, energy materials, ultrafast dynamics, soft matter, and biological materials—building a shared understanding that moves ideas between fields.
