This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program award of $253,000 supports the acquisition of a multi-scale imaging capability at Grambling State University (GSU), a historically black university in Louisiana. The project will enable GSU students to collect and analyze nanometer-scale surface images in 3D, allowing them to study laser plasma effects, the impacts of microgravity on liver tissues, and the properties of magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites. The new imaging instrumentation will enhance GSU's research capabilities and help attract and retain students in STEM fields. The project, running from September 2024 to August 2027, aims to advance fundamental research, develop workforce skills, and provide students with cutting-edge expertise in areas like atomic force microscopy and quantum tunneling.
