Description This workshop will examine manufacturing and characterization capacity in the US for mid-scale production of sufficient quantities of emerging materials to assess the engineering utility of those materials. Participants will discuss availability, access, and economic sustainability of both mid-scale manufacturing facilities and experimental facilities that provide extreme environment characterization, focusing on defense-specific considerations. The workshop will also examine state of the art approaches that are used to evaluate...

Grantor Contact Information Responsible Staff Officers: Blake Reichmuth and Samantha Koretsky Grantor Email skoretsky@nas.edu Other Grantor Information The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide independent, objective advice to inform policy with evidence, spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society. They are comprised of three academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Medicine. The organization convenes hundreds of conferences, workshops, and symposia annually, bringing together leading experts from academia, public, and private sectors. Their work focuses on providing high-quality, evidence-based consensus on complex scientific, engineering, and health-related challenges. They produce peer-reviewed reports, publish scientific journals, and serve as a trusted source of expert advice for policymaking. The National Academies mobilize approximately 6,000 top experts each year who volunteer their time and knowledge to conduct policy studies, workshops, and other activities aimed at addressing critical issues facing the nation and world.
