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 span electrochemical energy storage, corrosion resistant materials, data storage and nutrient generation. Specific approaches include understanding and controlling interfacial phenomena, developing technologies for microbial production of macronutrients (e.g., proteins and carbohydrates) and exploiting molecules for use in data storage and computing. 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.
