Examples include dislocations, magnetic domains and lattice relaxations around impurities. AIS is administered by the Lab's Applied Mathematical Sciences program and helps teachers hook their classrooms up to and run experiments on a Lab supercomputer. Jim Corones, director of the Lab's math program, emphasizes that all of the Lab's work for the Partnership is an integrated effort, both within the Lab and with the other laboratories in the Partnership. Integrating research at the Lab is relatively easy, John Gustafson explains, noting that his research team regularly interfaces with scientists in the condensed matter physics and the AIS educational programs. We don't have to work all that hard to make an interface happen.
Somebody walks over to another building and asks a question.
That's how the interface works.
