The University of New Mexico received a $495,261 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The purpose of this 4-year project is to conduct fundamental research on developing submicron-thick, bright white coatings through the optimization of structural order and disorder in nanorod-based photonic materials. The research aims to leverage the interplay between light scattering and interference to achieve highly reflective white coatings that are significantly thinner than conventional paint coatings, reducing the use of strategic white pigment materials. In addition to advancing scientific understanding of optical transport in ultra-thin films, the project includes educational components to visualize structural ordering and promote STEM engagement.
