National Science Foundation is investing $50 million in research infrastructure to enable the discovery and development of materials that can withstand extreme conditions, from lightweight composites for better armor to superalloys for fusion energy reactors. The funding will establish two new NSF Materials Innovation Platforms — high-tech facilities that provide access to specialized equipment and instruments. Each Materials Innovation Platform will receive $25 million from NSF over six years. Each of the new NSF Materials Innovation Platforms, one in Texas and one in Wisconsin, will acquire scientific equipment and build a system, or platform, that incorporates it.
