Grand Challenges in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Guru at Entertaining Research points us to an article from Arstechnica on the recent National Academies of Science report on grand challenges in condensed matter and materials physics.  The report is called Condensed-Matter and Materials Physics: The Science of the World Around Us (the link takes you to a draft copy of the report and should not be cited).

I found the following sections of the report interesting:

  1. How do complex phenomena emerge from simple ingredients?
  2. What is the physics of life?
  3. How will the information technology revolution be extended?
  4. Impact of condensed matter and materials physics research.

The report talks about quite a few interesting ideas.  I'll pick up a few and elaborate when I get the time.
