(a) First demonstration of trapping and cooling Dysprosium, the most magnetic atom. Enables a very sensitive magnetic field sensor. Other properties (Eg.: optical) of dysprosium makes this a very versatile platform to develop quantum sensors
Electrons in topological insulator BiSb scatter from alloying defects leaving distinct signatures in the Fourier transform of the STM measured LDOS. These FFT maps show a absence of wavevector connecting k to –k for surface wave scattering hence proving absence of backscattering

(B) Top 2 pictures optical (left) and mass-based (right) sensing platforms are shown for the rapid, sensitive and specific detection of chemical agents and biological pathogens.
(C) Electrons in topological insulator BiSb scatter from alloying defects leaving distinct signatures in the Fourier transform of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope measured Local Density of States (LDOS). These FFT maps show a absence of wavevector connecting k to –k for surface wave scattering hence proving absence of backscattering
(D) BEC picture (explain?) can’t remember details

Sciences for Lethality and Protection: Images illustrate three distinct threat environments whose phenomena is important to understand to further lethality and protection sciences. The far left illustrates a shock wave propagating across an instrumented headform wearing PPE. The middle picture shows an illustration of a ballistic impact to head protection and the far right picture is a MUVES run showing behind armor debris spall lines to passengers in a light-armored vehicle. In all of these areas, it is important to note that materials research is cross-cutting and integral to the advancement of lethality and protection technology for the Army.
