I. Nanotechnology-inspired Grand Challenge “Brain like computing”

combining National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI) & BRAIN Initiative

• Nanotechnology-Inspired Grand Challenge for Future Computing (DOD, DARPA, DOE, IARPA, NSF), announced by OSTP on Oct 21, 2015: http://www.nano.gov/futurecomputing

• Purpose: “Create a new type of computer that can proactively interpret and learn from data, solve unfamiliar problems using what it has learned, and operate with the energy efficiency of the human brain.”

Also: pattern recognition, human like simultaneous perception of information from various sources including the five senses, intelligence from the bottom with materials that compute (like tissues & neuromorphics), simultaneous actions, natural communication.

Intelligent cognitive assistants2016 workshop (sponsored by NSF, SIA, SRC)

Systems that are highly useful to humans, specifically on the topic of Harnessing Machine Intelligence to Augment Human Cognition and Human Problem-Solving Capabilities – e.g., research that drives towards “Intelligent Cognitive Assistants”


Water Sustainability through Nanotechnology

Research thrusts

• Increase water availability (ex: double the throughput membrane separation systems within 5 years)

• Improve the efficiency of water delivery and use (ex: Develop within 5 years nanotechnology-enabled coatings that reduce by 50% the amount of energy)

• Enable the next-generation water monitoring systems with nanotechnology (ex: continuous, real-time measurement of water quality that are more sensitive, more reliable, use sensors)


FY 2017 NS&E Priorities Research Areas (1)

The long-term objective is systematic understanding, control and restructuring of matter at the nanoscale for societal benefit

A. Scientific challenges- New theories at nanoscale

Ex: transition from quantum to classical physics, collective behavior, for simultaneous phenomena

- Non-equilibrium processes- Designing new molecules with engineered functions- New architectures for assemblies of nanocomponents- The emergent behavior of nanosystems . . . .

MC. Roco, Dec 12 2016

FY 2017 NS&E Priorities Research Areas (2)

B. Investigative and Transformative Methods - Tools for measuring and restructuring

with atomic precision and time resolution of chemical reactions

- Understanding and use of quantum phenomena- Understanding and use of multi-scale selfassembling- Nanobiotechnology – sub-cellular and systems approach- Nanomanufacturing scalable, modular, hybrid, on site - Systems nanotechnology
