Molecular Systems and Materials Assembly
Abstract
The Molecular Systems and Materials Assembly thrust is exploring new approaches for the synthesis, assembly, characterization and application of molecules and materials for a variety of DoD applications from the atomic to the product scale. Ultimately, materials and methods developed in this thrust will support a wide range of DoD applications that will leverage novel materials to extend the range, duration, and capabilities of DoD systems and the warfighter. Through control of the arrangement, interactions, and assembly of atoms and molecules, new materials and manufacturing processes are being developed to address long-standing challenges in supply chains, logistics, and sustainment while simultaneously enhancing the warfighter's capabilities on the battlefield. Efforts in this thrust range from fundamental science to better understand the chemistry and physics related to each application, to developing means to utilize such capabilities in future test systems and prototype devices.
