ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, MD — For centuries, the standard recipe for metals development has been to take useful metals and add a small amount of other elements to enhance performance. Today, materials scientists are seeking a new approach to deliver a materials-by-design concept.

The Army identified materials-by-design in its Army Modernization Strategy as a priority research area to enable protection overmatch against future threats. Overmatch simply means being stronger, better armed, or more skillful than an opposing force.
