This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $500,000.00, is for a research project titled "Compositions, Physical Properties, and Mobility of Liquids at High Pressure: Implications for Differentiation and Core Properties of Planetary Bodies."

The research aims to simulate the early differentiation process in large planetesimals and small planetary bodies by examining the mobility of liquid metal in silicate matrices and the redistribution of chemical compositions in planetary interiors. The project will focus on studying liquid metal percolation, immiscible liquid behavior, and changes in dihedral angles under high-pressure conditions. The results are expected to provide insights into the core formation and differentiation of planetary bodies.

This grant is part of NASA's Emerging Worlds program, which supports research on the formation, accretion, and stability of solar system bodies, as well as the early thermal and chemical processes occurring on small bodies. The Carnegie Institution for Science has the expertise and resources to carry out the proposed research and deliver high-quality data to advance the understanding of planetary interior processes.
