AMO physics studies the fundamental building blocks of functioning matter to help advance the understanding of the universe. It is a foundational discipline within the physical sciences, relating to atoms and their constituents, to molecules, and to light at the quantum level. AMO physics combines fundamental research with practical application, coupling fundamental scientific discovery to rapidly evolving technological advances, innovation and commercialization. Due to the wide-reaching intellectual, societal, and economical impact of AMO, it is important to review recent advances and future opportunities in AMO physics. \nManipulating Quantum Systems: An Assessment of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics in the United States assesses opportunities in AMO science and technology over the coming decade. Key topics in this report include tools made of light; emerging phenomena from few- to many-body systems; the foundations of quantum information science and technologies; quantum dynamics in the time and frequency domains; precision and the nature of the universe, and the broader impact of AMO science. \n", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/25613/manipulating-quantum-systems-an-assessment-of-atomic-molecular-and-optical", year = 2020, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" } @BOOK{NAP author = "National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine", editor = "Anne Frances Johnson", title = "Frontiers in Thermal Transport and Energy Conversion: Proceedings of a Workshop", isbn = "978-0-309-49673-5", abstract = "Thermal transport and energy conversion has remained an active field for at least 200 years, with numerous opportunities for discoveries and new applications.

Few contributed so directly to this feat as John Sulston. This is his personal account of one of the largest international scientific operations ever undertaken.\n\nIt was a momentous occasion when British scientist John Sulston embarked on the greatest scientific endeavor of our times: the sequencing of the Human Genome. In The Common Thread, Sulston takes us behind the scenes for an in-depth look at the controversial story behind the headlines. The accomplishments and the setbacks\u2014along with the politics, personalities, and ethics\u2014that shaped the research are frankly explored by a central figure key to the project.\n\nFrom the beginning, Sulston fervently proclaimed his belief in the free and open exchange of the scientific information that would emerge from the project. Guided by these principles, The Human Genome Project was structured so that all the findings were public, encouraging an unparalleled international collaboration among scientists and researchers.\n\nThen, in May 1998, Craig Venter announced that he was quitting the Human Genome Project\u2014with plans to head up a commercial venture launched to bring out the complete sequence three years hence, but marketed in a proprietary database. Venter\u2019s intentions, clearly anathema to Sulston and the global network of scientists working on the Project, marked the beginning of a dramatic struggle to keep the human genome in the public domain.\n\nMore than the story of human health versus corporate wealth, this is an exploration of the very nature of a scientific quest for discovery.

We are privy to the joy and exuberance of success as well as the stark disappointments posed by inevitable failures. It is truly a wild and wonderful ride. \n\nThe Common Thread is at once a compelling history and an impassioned call for ethical responsibility in scientific research. As the boundaries between science and big business increasingly blur, and researchers race to patent medical discoveries, the international community needs to find a common protocol for the protection of the wider human interest.
