The U.S. National Science Foundation recently announced it is awarding $427,935 to NDSU through the Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation.
The award will fund a project entitled “High-Yield Core Luminescent Silicon-Carbide Nanocrystals from Mixed Liquid Precursors.” This project will focus on researching manufacturing challenges associated with the synthesis and processing of state-of-the-art fluorescent silicon carbide quantum dots, from precursor to final product.
CMMI advances the future of manufacturing, the design of innovative materials and building technologies, infrastructure resilience and sustainability, and tools and systems for decision-making, robotics and controls.
