Exploring the intersection of materials, chemistry, and design.
The team set out into the rainy night, equipped with the latest in stealth technology, courtesy of Alex. They reached the museum just as the clock struck ten, the streets eerily empty. Samantha worked her magic on the security system, disabling the cameras and alarms, while Jack and Mike kept watch.
Meanwhile, Alex snuck into the museum's server room to ensure their digital trail was covered. Within minutes, Samantha had cracked the display case, and they were face to face with the "Star of India." It sparkled under the dim light, more beautiful than they had imagined.
The Marauders were left with nothing but questions and a burning desire for revenge. Their story was far from over. In fact, it was just beginning.
No upcoming events scheduled.
Principal Investigator, Professor of Chemistry
Panče Naumov leads the Smart Materials Lab and the Center for Smart Engineering Materials at NYUAD. His group is internationally recognized for pioneering crystal adaptronics and advancing adaptive molecular solids, with applications in sensing, robotics, optics, and energy systems.

We are proud that the Smart Materials Lab is the leading team in impactful chemistry research in the United Arab Emirates, with research output that, according to the Nature Index, accounts for 40‒60% of the total chemistry publications within the country, both in fractional count and weighed fractional count. The past and current research projects in the Smart Materials Lab have been sponsored by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), Human Science Frontier Program Organization (HFSPO), and the UAE National Research Foundation (NRF), in addition to generous financial support from NYUAD and the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute. The members of the Smart Materials Lab work closely with NYUAD's Center for Smart Engineering Materials (CSEM).
