 rain to guide the interactions of material structures with electrons\, pho
 tons\, etc. and control energy\, mass and information flows. The success o
 f Strained Silicon technology today harbingers what Strain Engineering may
  do for human civilization in the future\, with potential breakthroughs in
  electronics\, photonics\, ferroics\, superconductivity\, catalysis\, sens
 ing\, etc. In this talk I will give examples of exploiting the strain desi
 gn space of low-dimensional materials. Homogenous and inhomogeneous elasti
 c strain\, bending\, interlayer twist and slip lead to tunable\, low-energ
 y artificial atoms\, artificial superlattices and pseudoheterostructures t
 hat can regulate quasiparticle motion. Strain also governs ferroelastic an
 d band topology transitions in these materials. Lastly\, we demonstrate pr
 oduction of kilogram-scale nanowires under large tensile elastic strain\, 
 that leads to improved superconductivity. By controlling the strain tensor
  and strain gradient statically or dynamically\, one opens up a much large
 r parameter space - on par with alloying - for optimizing the functional p
 roperties of materials\, which imparts a new meaning to Feynman’s statem
 ent “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom”.\n\n						Bio:\n\n						Ju 
 Li has held faculty positions at the Ohio State University\, the Universit
 y of Pennsylvania\, and is presently a chaired professor at MIT. His group
  (http://Li.mit.edu) works on energy materials and systems. Ju is a recipi
 ent of the 2005 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Enginee
 rs\, the 2006 Materials Research Society Outstanding Young Investigator Aw
 ard\, and the TR35 award from Technological Review. Ju was elected Fellow 
 of the American Physical Society in 2014\, a Fellow of the Materials Resea
 rch Society in 2017 and a Fellow of AAAS in 2020. In 2016 Ju Li co-founded
  one of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) Low-Carbon Energy Centers\, the 
 Center for Materials in Energy and Extreme Environments (CME). Li is the c
 hief organizer of MIT A+B Applied Energy Symposia that aim to develop solu
 tions to global climate change challenges with "A-Action before 2040" and 
 "B-Beyond 2040 technologies ( http://li.mit.edu/ab/20  http://li.mit.edu/
