The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research awarded a CAREER grant totaling $417,790 to Washington University (awarded September 1, 2026; completion August 31, 2031) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The project delivers fundamental research and development services focused on enabling direct growth of single-crystal two-dimensional semiconductor materials on amorphous glass substrates using controlled geometric and growth conditions. Rather than relying on traditional crystalline templates, the research develops novel methodologies to control atomic assembly on disordered glass surfaces, effectively transforming glass from a passive support material into an active functional platform capable of supporting high-performance electronic components. The deliverables encompass both research outputs and educational programming. The research component generates knowledge and technical capabilities applicable to next-generation electronic devices, including faster and more energy-efficient computing systems, improved communication platforms, and advanced sensing applications built directly on glass substrates. The award also funds integrated educational initiatives that introduce students to principles of order emerging from disorder through hands-on experimentation, supporting workforce development in semiconductor technology and broader science and engineering disciplines. These combined outputs advance NSF's mission of promoting mathematical and physical sciences research while strengthening the nation's scientific enterprise and addressing fundamental materials science challenges.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
