The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $750,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 43.008) to the University of Puerto Rico. The award, with a performance period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will support research and development on "Advancing High-Energy Cycle-Stable Sulfur-Based Batteries for NASA Space Missions: An Integrated Framework of Density Functional Theory Machine Learning and Materials Innovation." This project aims to develop improved battery technologies for NASA's space missions through an integrated approach involving computational modeling, machine learning, and materials research and innovation. The University of Puerto Rico, as the prime recipient, will serve as a key partner to NASA in advancing critical technologies and capabilities to support the agency's exploration and scientific objectives.
