Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials (CMCM)

The IBS Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials (CMCM) supports a talented international team of highly collaborative researchers that design, synthesize and study new forms of carbon and related materials, many of which are expected to have exceptional physical and electronic properties. The center is located in a new building at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), nestled in a beautiful area near the port cities of Ulsan and Busan. Ulsan is famous for its shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, and petrochemical and chemical industries, and thus an ideal location to interface science with industry. Members and visitors of the CMCM will enjoy an intellectually stimulating environment that fosters dynamic exchange within the center and abroad through its extensive, international network of research institutions and programs.
