The grant is for advancing quantum sensing, communication, and security capabilities over a four-year period ending in February 2024. The University of Illinois is the prime grantee and will be conducting the research work. There is no set-aside designation for this award. The University of Illinois has a history of receiving federal...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, for research on detached Bridgman growth of semiconductor crystals. The $300,000.00 grant is intended to advance the understanding of this potentially transformative crystal growth method, which is more easily achieved in microgravity environments. The research teams at the University of...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois, a public land-grant research university located in Urbana, Illinois. The overarching goal of this $374,501.00 project is to develop a scalable crop phenological retrieval framework by integrating remote sensing, crop simulation modeling, deep learning, and high-performance computing. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is intended to be completed by April 30, 2026....
This federal grant award to the University of Illinois, a public land-grant research university, aims to develop high-efficiency, low-cost solar cell technology. The $320,000.00 grant will fund research into growing a thin gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) solar cell on top of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), which is expected to increase the short-circuit current density and overall efficiency of the GaAsP cell. The research seeks to mitigate issues with defects and low diffusion length in GaAsP cells grown on silicon, enabling the development of GaAsP/silicon tandem cells with over 30% efficiency for both space and terrestrial applications. This grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has no set-aside designation.
