This $480,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California, Santa Barbara. The grant supports research to study the thermodynamics and kinetics of nanostructured metallic alloys containing a large quantity of grain boundary defects. The goal is to promote specific chemical and structural environments at these defects to study local phase transitions and their impact on thermal stability and mechanical properties. The research aims to expand the scientific foundations for nucleation from nanoscale confined arrangements and advance the emerging paradigm of defect phase design. In addition to the technical research, the award includes outreach to K-12 and older adult communities in Santa Barbara and Baltimore. The project period runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028.
