Johnson will receive $150k a year over 5 years for his research, “Tracking the Mechanisms of Catalytic Reactions on LigandProtected Gold Nanoclusters"
The research team will build tailored laser pulses & use exascale computing to predict how these pulses lead to optimal energy transfer in materials.
Iowa State University physicists Srimoyee Sen is one of 83 scientists from American universities and DOE national laboratories selected for the award.
The research project, now in its second three-year cycle, relates to the design and commission of the next generation of particle physics machines.
Professor Chuji Wang will study the effects of plasma in complex settings using a novel method—the cavity ringdown spectroscopy technique.
The process requires just one step and relies on electrocatalysis to trigger chemical reactions in a room temperature solution in ambient conditions.
DOE has selected University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate student William Cordell for its Office of Science Graduate Student Research program.
The research will contribute to scientific understanding across a range of disciplines, from ecology to public health to climatology.
Researchers incorporated stretchable tactile sensors using liquid metal - encapsulated within silicone-based elastomers - on prosthetic fingertips.
Green aviation and updating flight plans to prevent long-lasting contrails can reduce climate impacts.
