The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $798,445 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (South Dakota Mines). The grant will fund the acquisition of a field emission scanning transmission electron microscope (FE-STEM) to support nanoscale materials research at South Dakota Mines and its regional academic and industrial partners. The FE-STEM instrument will enable advanced structural characterization of materials for applications in energy conversion and storage, biomaterials, 2D materials, and more. The project aims to integrate the FE-STEM into South Dakota Mines' Engineering Mining Experimental Station, a central analytical facility, to facilitate collaborative and translational research. The award period runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027.
