In addition, we are experiencing a confluence of high-performance computing (HPC) capability and breakthroughs in computational algorithms, data handling and storage, the development of services to support continuous data collection and analysis, and user interfaces for remote sensing applications in integrated solutions.
Future of materials
In the field of materials, I think we need to look both forward and backward when we think about what to expect over the next 40 years.
