AMO involvement in molecular biophysics, solar energy collection and conversion, or laser fusion may contribute to a solution. Health threats are likely to increase on our interconnected and highly populated planet, and rapid response to new contagions requires the development of ways to detect biomolecules remotely through advanced laser 1 For further detail on the connections between AMO science and society's needs, see National Research Council, Atoms, Molecules, Light: AMO Science Enabling the Future, Washington, D.C.: The National Academies Press (2002)

In approaching its charge, the committee identified, from among the many important and relevant issues, six broad grand challenges that succinctly describe key scientific opportunities available to AMO science. Surmounting these challenges will require important advances in both experiment and theory.

Negative index nanomaterials could dramatically improve optical microscopes or reduce the feature size in chip fabrication. Other applications include photonic crystals, single photon sources and detectors, environmental monitoring, and biomedical optics, with applications such as killing cancerous cells via localized optical absorption and heating.
