Physical Sciences (Basic Research)
Abstract
This project (PS1) advances fundamental scientific knowledge in physical science areas that include chemistry, physics, materials science, environmental science, and nanotechnology that could potentially lead to transformational chemical biological (CB) defensive capabilities enhancing Warfighter performance and safety. Individual efforts in this project include: - Research results in physics, chemistry, and materials science that have potential application in point and remote detection, diagnostics, protection and decontamination. - Surface and environmental science focus on the study of physical and chemical properties and phenomena of interactions, especially with regard to Non-Traditional Agents (NTAs), in order to improve capabilities such as detection, protection, and decontamination. - Research in nanotechnology and nanoscale sciences, such as nanoelectromechanical systems, molecular motors, nano-mechanical resonance sensing, and nano-meter imaging. Potential applications across CB capability areas include decreasing detection response times, increasing medical countermeasure effectiveness against a wider array of threat agents, and providing currently unavailable modalities like detection imbedded in fabrics.
