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

These partnerships advance understanding of the physical world by supporting fundamental, early-stage energy research collaborations with the DOE National Laboratories. The grants are aimed to enhance the research of EPSCoR scientists while building expertise and capabilities that will enable the institutions to compete more successfully for other federal R&D funding. In this way the DOE EPSCoR program advances the geographic diversity of researchers conducting competitive energy-related resear ... Show More
