For context, the perennial problem in designing novel chemical materials, like new biofuels or energy storage materials for batteries, is one of scale. To illustrate this, let’s consider designing a novel biofuel blend to replace diesel. At the same time, we’d like for it to produce less soot, and thus, less air pollution.
