About this award
The University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin-Madison division, was awarded a $608,960 research grant by a civilian federal agency on February 2, 2021, for fundamental research on three-dimensional collisionless magnetic reconnection conducted in laboratory settings. This non-set-aside grant supports scientific exploration of how magnetic field lines change topology in collisionless plasmas and how magnetic energy converts into high-speed flows and thermal energy—processes with broad applications across magnetized plasma research. The work will be performed in Madison, Wisconsin, with a scheduled completion date of February 1, 2025.
The University of Wisconsin System is an established leader in federally-funded research across diverse scientific disciplines and has demonstrated substantial capacity to conduct complex, cutting-edge scientific investigations. As a comprehensive public research institution and land-grant university, the system regularly receives competitive awards from multiple federal agencies including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Department of Energy, and NASA. This magnetic reconnection research grant aligns with the institution's strong track record in physics and materials science research and represents one of many federal awards supporting advanced research capabilities across the University of Wisconsin System.
