Condensed matter theory at the University of Maryland, College Park, just got a shot in the arm: The university’s College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provost’s office, physics department, and Laboratory for Physical Sciences are jointly pledging $240 000 a year, indefinitely and with no overhead, to launch the Condensed Matter Theory Center. The money will be used to bring in scientists and to hold occasional workshops. This fall, the new center will welcome five postdocs and a senior visiting researcher, says center director Sankar Das Sarma.
