  1. Quanta to the Continuum: Opportunities for Mesoscale Science John Sarrao George Crabtree BESAC, July 2012 As always, thanks for a valuable and fruitful discussion meso2012.com

  2. Path forward Clean up editorial issues/figures/etc. (good overall edit) Input/scribbling from BESAC members (asap) appreciated Scrub PRDs (esp. #4-6) re: bio and quantum concerns Engage Jack, Laura on those gaps Enhance cross cutting themes/future capabilities/workforce development discussion Subcommittee to work Improve/tighten exec summary & intro, including images/sidebars Subcommittee to work Write “few pager” on broader messaging* *“Starting from the end;” continue to engage Bill in the dialogue Develop outreach plan w/elevator(s), especially including industry Look to BESAC (e.g., Simon, Roger, Ernie, Mark, Frank & others for contacts) …by the end of august

  3. A possible logic for broader message • Imagine… • The ability to manufacture predictively at the mesoscale … yielding faster, cheaper, higher performing, and longer lasting products. • Imagine… • exploiting biologically inspired complexity and functionality … to transform energy conversion, transmission, and storage with earth abundant materials • Imagine… • transforming how we create functionality by design from the top-down AND the bottom up simultaneously … to produce next-generation technological innovation. • The opportunity to realize this vision exists at the mesoscale: • Harnessing mesoscale structure, dynamics and interactions to create controlled functionality • New capabilities are within our reach to discover principles and enable solutions: • Directed assembly, in situ dynamics, and predictive multi-modal function 3
