Emerging Opportunities in Materials Sciences
Abstract
The grounds for strategic surprise are often realized through the discovery of unifying principles, novel fundamental limits, and unexpected connections between nominally disparate fields. Examples include new fundamental limits of sensing and information gathering capabilities enabled by multimodal sensor networks and new avenues to high performance information processing by encoding information within dynamical physical or biological systems. This thrust explores emergent capabilities and universal themes at the interface of quantum science, mathematics, nanoscience, and materials science to develop novel approaches to critical national security needs. Focus areas include harnessing the universal principles of turbulence from new forms of simulation for high complexity physical systems; systemic discovery of materials with desired properties; the analysis of new scientific and technological ideas of importance to national security.
