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

These 38 papers from the April 2000 symposium study granular structure, granular flows, nonlinear waves in granular media, vibrated and rotated granular media, and stress distributions. Topics include jamming in liquids and granular materials, nuclear magnetic resonance studies of granular flows, the blueprint of a concept for a nozzle- free inkjet printer, mixing and segregation processes in a Turbula blender, persistence of granular structure during die compaction of ceramic powders, and humidity-induced cohesion effects in granular media. c.
