The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $349,949 Partnerships for Innovation - Technology Translation (PFI-TT) grant to the University of Alabama to develop an advanced, configurable multi-purpose container and its digital twin software for the large-scale production of two-dimensional (2D) materials. This innovation has the potential for commercial impact by enabling more efficient and cost-effective growth of 2D materials, which are critical components for next-generation electronic materials. The project focuses on creating a software package that integrates computational materials science and engineering to serve as a digital twin for the synthesis of advanced 2D materials, overcoming challenges with reliable and reproducible large-area 2D material growth. The University of Alabama is partnering with Robocasting Enterprises LLC and Pennsylvania State University on this project, with sub-awards planned to support the development of specialized 2D material growth technologies and computational models.
