Components the size of a few atoms, known as quantum materials, can enhance how technology functions and manages its heat. However, little is known about how heat is emitted and exchanged in quantum materials in contrast with their more common...
NSF's mission is to advance the progress of science, a mission accomplished by funding proposals for research and education made by scientists, engineers, and educators from across the country.
Invitation to Idaho EPSCoR RII Track-1 listening sessions March 12, 2021 Idaho will be eligible to submit one Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) Track-one proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF) in August 2022. The Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Track-1 awards “provide up to $20 million total over five years to support research-driven improvements to jurisdictions’ physical and cyber infrastructure and human capital development in topical areas selected by the jurisdiction’s EPSCoR steering committee as having the best potential to i...
It’s 35 degrees in the Lake Tahoe Basin and the weather calls for precipitation. Will it be rain or snow? Turns out, that is not an easy question for scientists to answer. However, scientists at the Desert Research Institute, with the help of citizen scientists, are trying to find an easier answer to that question with their ‘Tahoe Rain or Snow?’ project. Keith Jennings, a water resource scientist with Lynker Technologies is the “data guru” on the project. “In a water resources model, it’s really easy to predict snowfall when it’s cold, so say 20 degrees, it’s almost alwa...
Nick Carroll, assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at The University of New Mexico, was awarded a National Science Foundation CAREER Award for a project that could eventually lead to smart implantable medical devices and other biomedical and technological advances. Carroll’s research — which focuses on genetically-engineered biomaterials created by the interplay of biology and polymer physics — seeks to develop synthetic cell populations that can “talk” to each other and transmit information, much like the electrical impulses that send command...
