Description

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Multi X Office (MXO) seeks information to inform possible future research on flexoelectric materials. The Department of War (DoW) requires sensing and transduction technologies that operate under size, weight, power, communications, and environmental constraints. The intended scope of this RFI is foundational materials, interfaces, metrology, design rules, and device elements that may encode or discriminate local mechanical state through strain-gradient-driven electromechanical response.
