DARPA is seeking innovative proposals for the Smash program, which aims to develop new materials processing technologies for efficient and scalable separation of elements across the periodic table to support domestic resource independence. The program specifically focuses on creating parallel processing technologies to improve process yields, maximize energy efficiency, and ensure industrial scalability. Proposed research must pursue revolutionary advances, not incremental improvements to existing methods.
