What is CNLS?

The Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS) is part of the Laboratory's Theoretical Division, and it organizes research related to nonlinear and complex systems phenomena. CNLS was formed in October of 1980.

CNLS Mission Statement

  • Identify and study complex nonlinear phenomena using a diverse set of research approaches and methodologies, particularly those of statistical physics, nonlinear science, applied mathematics and numerical simulation.
  • Promote the use of scientific results in applied research.
  • Stimulate the formation of interdisciplinary approaches to complex problems.
  • Facilitate the interchange of scientific results and ideas between Laboratory scientists and external centers of excellence.
  • Encourage the exploration of new scientific frontiers at the interface between conventional disciplines.
  • Support a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary science that underpins the Laboratory's mission in national security.

Featured News
  • CNLS Postdoc Research Associate, Renai Chen and co-author Galen Craven, have published a journal article titled 'The effect of temperature oscillations on energy storage rectification in harmonic systems'. The article was published in the Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. The article can be accessed here.
  • CNLS Postdoc Research Associate, Renai Chen, and co-authors Tammie Gibson and Galen Craven, have published a journal article titled 'Molecular heat transport across a time-periodic temperature gradient'. The article was published in the Journal of Chemical Physics. The article can be accessed here.
  • CNLS Postdoctoral Fellow, Luke Baker, and co-authors from Arizona State University have demonstrated that model-predictive control of ferrofluid microrobots may provide a pathway to reach otherwise inaccessible regions of the human body for minimally invasive medical procedures in targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and diagnostics. The article entitled "Model-predictive optimal control of ferrofluidic microrobots in three-dimensional space" by E. Olga Skowronek, Luke S. Baker, Reza Ahmed, and Hamid Marvi, may be found in the International Journal of Robotics Research. Read the publication here.
