High-Entropy Materials, Ultra-Strong Molecules, and Nanoelectronics : Emerging Capabilities and Research Objectives: Proceedings of a Workshop

High-entropy materials, ultra-strong molecules, and nanoelectronics have become a focus of active research because of their unique potential and applications. Global research is rapidly accelerating and unlocking major recent breakthroughs. It is important to highlight these recent developments and explore possibilities for future research and applications. The National Academies convened a workshop on February 10-11, 2016 to discuss issues in defense materials, manufacturing, and infrastructure. Key topics of discussion included emerging capabilities and research objectives for ultra-strong molecules, high-entropy materials, and nanoelectronics. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
