This Strategic Research Area (SRA) emphasizes the creation of nano-scale and nano-structured building blocks to provide diverse protective capabilities such as sensing, communications, night vision, electronic devices, and visibility management. Examples of these building blocks are nanocrystals (quantum dots), novel carbon forms (graphenes, carbon nanotubes), optoelectronic fibers, coatings, interfaces, and hybrid nano-structures.
