The Office of Science of the Department of Energy is pleased to announce that four projects (listed below) have been selected to receive funding as part of a competition for research in Computational Materials Science (CMS) sponsored by the Office of Basic Energy Sciences. The research efforts will develop advanced open-source community software and databases. Solicited topics were (a) computational discovery and design of functional materials with unique physical properties, and (b) computational modeling of emergent and ordered magnetic, superconducting, and/or ferroelectric phases, including their dynamics. A key aim of the current projects is to take full advantage of the nation’s most advanced computers. Funding will provide a bridge to perform fundamental and exploratory research at so-called “exascale” machines recently deployed at DOE national laboratories. Show Less

The FOA is issued by the FES General Plasma Science (GPS) program to seek new applications from U.S. researchers to carry out frontier-level plasma science research on one or more of the FES GPS Program supported collaborative research facilities (CRFs). The focus here is on new, one-time, short-term, small “seed” funding for external collaborations with the CRFs and to increase participation at and productivity of these facilities. Through the support of this research, the FES GPS Program plays ... Show More

The FOA is issued by the FES General Plasma Science (GPS) program to provide frontier-level research opportunities leading to significant advances in the fundamental understanding of basic plasma science and engineering. The FOA welcomed proposals in three core research areas: (i) dynamical processes in laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasma, such as magnetic reconnection, plasma dynamo, shocks, turbulence cascade, structures, waves, flows and their interactions; (ii) behavior of dusty plas ...

The FOA is issued by the FES General Plasma Science (GPS) program to provide frontier-level research opportunities leading to significant advances in the fundamental understanding of basic plasma science and engineering. The FOA welcomed proposals in three core research areas: (i) dynamical processes in laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasma, such as magnetic reconnection, plasma dynamo, shocks, turbulence cascade, structures, waves, flows and their interactions; (ii) behavior of dusty plasma, non-neutral, single-component matter or antimatter plasma, and ultra-cold neutral plasma; and (iii) plasma chemistry and processes in low temperature plasma, interfacial plasma, and interaction of plasma with materials and/or biomaterials. Through the support of this research, the FES GPS Program plays a key role in training the next generation of plasma scientists and engineers. Show Less
