The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $510,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of Chicago. The objective of this 3-year research project, starting on Jul 15, 2025, is to establish fundamental structure/processing/morphology/property relationships in a class of "pluripotent" polymer materials that can be tempered to access a wide range of room-temperature properties, from brittle and glassy to...
This Project Grant award of $154,512 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at The Leland Stanford Junior University on the mechanics and phase behavior of two-dimensional (2D) materials that combine viscous and elastic properties. The goal is to develop a new class of adaptive and multifunctional 2D materials with tunable mechanical and material properties, which could enable applications such as self-repairing...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research and education in the fields of computational materials science and soft matter engineering. The $337,337 award to Cornell University aims to predict how polyphilic molecules can assemble into solid-like and liquid-like domains, allowing the material to both absorb large strains and self-heal. The project will use molecular dynamics simulations to...
This $395,749 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will enable researchers at Syracuse University to develop a comprehensive physics framework for understanding how cell nuclei and tissues adapt to extreme mechanical stress. The project aims to investigate the mechanisms by which cell nuclei deform and respond to compression, as well as how tissue-level forces impact chromatin organization. The...
