This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), is supporting research to develop new methods for guiding magnetic high-entropy alloy nanoparticles into organized structures. The $360,000 award to The Ohio State University, with a project period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, aims to leverage the natural magnetism of these nanomaterials to assemble them into chains, loops, and larger hierarchical architectures. The research will push the boundaries of materials science and engineering, and enable future innovations in areas like high-density data storage, soft robotics, and environmental monitoring. The project involves three integrated thrusts: synthesizing the intrinsically magnetic high-entropy alloy nanoparticles, directing their assembly through magnetic interactions, and aligning the resulting nanostructures using external fields. This work will provide training opportunities for students and outreach to K-12 students through hands-on workshops and educational modules.
