Stuff that's non-obvious but amazing and makes you think sci-fi... DARPA does a lot of this kind of stuff.
Definitely non-trivial problems, most likely hardware, maybe materials science or something in the other science fields. Maybe new math, or solvers that take days to run on thousands of CPUs. Stuff that might take thousands of man-hours to develop.
Not sure how YC would be involved here, as this is expensive to develop, but DARPA has a funding model.
