The awards are part of $6.4M in total DOE funding for seven projects for research on two international fusion energy stellarator facilities.

A team developed a bioprocess that completely and efficiently converted plant matter consisting of acetate and xylose into high-value bioproducts.

The U.S. is now the world’s largest producer of petroleum and natural gas. That level of production brings real challenges, particularly when it comes to production processes known as flaring and venting that cause greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

The Rice University lab of physicist Junichiro Kono led an effort to make custom nanotube fibers & test their potential for large-scale applications.

By using a special catalyst, researchers created a tougher polymer that can easily be depolymerized back to the monomer state with an acid catalyst.

The method produces extremely thin, free-standing lanthanum aluminate and strontium titanate membranes, which can be integrated into other structures.

​A four-year, $5 million grant from DOE will help a Central Michigan University-led team fix a long-standing problem in materials science.

The funding supports researchers who are developing the next generation of quantum smart devices and computer technology.

Their findings suggest that the MEILB2-binding region of BRCA2 might be a hotspot for discovering mutations related to infertility.

The students are graduates of the STEM Student Success Scholarship program, designed to provide financial and academic support in a variety of areas.
