The search for secret ingredients: University of Washington gets grant to invent new materials that could power the next big technology
September 28, 2017 /
Turning skyscrapers into giant solar panels. Making computers faster and data encryption more powerful.
With a $15.6 million, six-year grant from the National Science Foundation, those are some of the projects that researchers from the University of Washington plan to tackle.
The key to each: New materials, such as special window coatings that can absorb sunlight, and nanocrystals that can speed up computers.
With the money, the university will start a new, interdisciplinary center, called the Molecular Engineering Materials Center, to expand its research on new materials.
