Fundamental Limits
Abstract
Understanding the fundamental limits (i.e., achievable boundaries) of scientific principles, processes and technologies is critical to better anticipate technological surprise for ourselves and our adversaries. This thrust explores boundaries across fields such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, and engineering to address critical questions for national security. This thrust is addressing foundational theory and approaches that include, for example, the fundamental limitations of optical technologies, potential implications of basic biology on national security, and the ability for modeling and simulation to provide a better understanding of complex systems. This thrust is an aggregation of programs previously contained in both Nanoscale/Bio-inspired MetaMaterials and Fundamentals of Nanoscale and Emergent Effects and Engineered Devices.
