‎Globalization of Materials R&D; Time for a National Strategy‎

‎Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2005. Presumed First Edition First printing. Trade paperback. Very good. xv 1 199 1 pages. Decorative front cover. Footnotes. Figures. Tables. Materials Science and Engineering MSE R&D is spreading globally at an accelerating rate. As a result the relative U.S. position in a number of MSE subfields is in a state of flux. To understand better this trend and its implications for the U.S. economy and national security the Department of Defense DOD asked the NRC to assess the status and impacts of the global spread of MSE R&D. This report presents a discussion of drivers affecting U.S. companies'" decisions about location of MSE R&D an analysis of impacts on the U.S. economy and national security and recommendations to ensure continued U.S. access to critical MSE R&D. This report includes: Table of Contents; Front Matter; Executive Summary; 1 Materials as Global Activity: Setting the Scene; 2 Globalization of Materials Research & Development Activity; 3 Benchmarking of Materials Science and Engineering R&D; 4 The Regulatory Regime as a Driver; 5 Assessing the Impacts of Materials Science and Engineering R&D Globalization; 6 Conclusions and Recommendations; Appendix A Committee Biographies; Appendix B Presentations to the Committee at its Public Meetings; Appendix C Global Trends in MSE Patents; Appendix D Global Trends in Literature Authorship; Appendix E Results of Community Poll; Appendix F Superalloy Case Study; Appendix G Environmental and Safety and Health Regulations; and Appendix H Defining 21st Century Defense Needs. Among the Reviews was Siegfried Hecker of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Materials Science and Engineering MSE R&D is spreading globally at an accelerating rate.

When it released this report the National Academies Press issued in part the following statement: While the United States remains a world leader in materials research and development competition from new materials R&D centers worldwide could weaken the nation's position in this field says a new report from the National Academies' National Research Council. The federal government should define a national strategy to ensure that future national security needs in materials R&D can be addressed; that universities and federal agencies -- including the U.S. Department of Defense National Science Foundation U.S. Department of Energy and NASA -- participate in international materials R&D collaborations; and that more American students are encouraged to pursue careers in science and engineering. Available evidence suggests that the globalization of materials R&D has had a limited effect on the U.S. economy and national security to date but the impact in the near future is highly uncertain the report says. The federal government needs to gather data on trends in materials R&D worldwide in order to assess how well the United States is performing compared with other countries and to determine how to ensure that the nation's economic and security needs are met. The United States can no longer assume that the most important innovations in materials science and engineering will take place domestically. To have access to superior technologies developed elsewhere the United States needs to become one of the most active players in international materials R&D teams and ensure that knowledge generated by foreign R&D is absorbed into domestic programs both civilian and military the report says. Policy-makers need to ensure that current controls on exports do not impede U.S. participation in international projects the committee said. . Maintaining U.S. leadership in materials R&D also will require that the nation's educational system attract more students to degrees in science and engineering the committee said.If the United States is to continue to compete on the global stage its educational system will have to consider the needs of federal agencies and industry and ensure an adequate supply of professionals in materials science and engineering the committee said. The study was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense. The National Academies Press paperback‎

‎Implications of Emerging Micro-and Nanotechnologies‎

‎Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2002. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Good. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Defect on page 33/34 with no impact on text. xxi 1 243 p. Illustrations Figures and Tables. References and Notes. Author continues: "Committee on Implications of Emerging Micro-And Nanotechnologies." Expansion of micro-technology applications and rapid advances in nano-science have generated considerable interest by the Air Force in how these developments will affect the nature of warfare and how it could exploit these trends. The report notes four principal themes emerging from the current technological trends: increased information capability miniaturization new materials and increased functionality. Recommendations about Air Force roles in micro-and nanotechnology research are presented including those areas in which the Air Force should take the lead. The report also provides a number of technical and policy findings and recommendations that are critical for effective development of the Air Force's micro-and nano-science and technology program.

From Wikipedia: "Microtechnology is technology with features near one micrometre one millionth of a metre or 10&minus; 6 metre or 1¼m. In the 1960s scientists learned that by arraying large numbers of microscopic transistors on a single chip microelectronic circuits could be built that dramatically improved performance functionality and reliability all while reducing cost and increasing volume. This development led to the Information Revolution. More recently scientists have learned that not only electrical devices but also mechanical devices may be miniaturized and batch-fabricated promising the same benefits to the mechanical world as integrated circuit technology has given to the electrical world. While electronics now provide the brains for today s advanced systems and products micromechanical devices can provide the sensors and actuators the eyes and ears hands and feet which interface to the outside world. Today micromechanical devices are the key components in a wide range of products such as automobile airbags ink-jet printers blood pressure monitors and projection display systems. It seems clear that in the not-too-distant future these devices will be as pervasive as electronics." From WIkipedia: "Nanotechnology sometimes shortened to "nanotech" is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. The earliest widespread description of nanotechnology1 2 referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. This definition reflects the fact that quantum mechanical effects are important at this quantum-realm scale and so the definition shifted from a particular technological goal to a research category inclusive of all types of research and technologies that deal with the special properties of matter that occur below the given size threshold. It is therefore common to see the plural form "nanotechnologies" as well as "nanoscale technologies" to refer to the broad range of research and applications whose common trait is size. With a variety of potential applications nanotechnologies are key for the future and governments have invested billions of dollars in their research. Through its National Nanotechnology Initiative the USA has invested 3.7 billion. The National Academies Press paperback‎
