Today, the U.S. National Science Foundation awarded its latest grants through PREM, Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials, to support eight collaborative research teams across the United States that will increase diversity in cutting-edge materials research, education and professions.
Each six-year award provides nearly $4,000,000 for a total NSF investment of more than $30,000,000 and will support materials research partnerships between minority-serving institutions and large-scale, NSF-supported research facilities.
In addition to supporting new discoveries, the PREM pathway provides institutional support to increase recruitment, retention and degree-attainment by underrepresented groups, and provides underserved communities with access to materials research and education. The awards are intended to support and motivate a diverse cohort of students through graduation, the pursuit of higher education, and rewarding careers.

The recent synthesis of one-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures, a type of heterostructure made by layering two-dimensional materials that are one atom thick, may lead to new, miniaturized electronics that are currently not possible, according to a team of Penn State and University of Tokyo researchers.
Engineers commonly produce heterostructures to achieve new device properties that are not available in a single material. A van der Waals heterostructure is one made of 2D materials that are stacked directly on top of each other like Lego-blocks or a sandwich. The van der Waals force, which is an attractive force between uncharged molecules or atoms, holds the materials together.
