Comment on "Superatoms" Mimic Elements: Research Reveals New Perspective of Periodic Table

Comments

FTA: "This research was funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research."

Interesting to see the kind of practical basic research being done by the military. Their website is interesting: http://www.wpafb.af.mil/AFRL/afosr/

I could see applications of this being very useful for military and peaceful solutions, especially if superatom chemistry can replace the demand for rare-earth elements.

DOD branches fund lots of "basic applied science" research.

Hasn't a lot of scientific advance come about as a direct result of military research?

You are using the result of military research right now
