This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The research objective of this Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) project is to invent new procedures for producing stable nanowires, thousands of times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Stable nanowires would promote next-generation technologies to improve US healthcare, new industry creation, and global competitiveness. However, nanowires with the required electrical stability are not yet available. This research will improve the useful lifetime of existing nanowires from a few weeks or months to as much as ten years, so that they can be safely integrated into microscale or nanoscale electronic systems. The research plan therefore calls for (1) empirical and theoretical modeling of nanowire electrical properties and (2) testing a material design approach of fabricating composite nanoscale material systems.Nanowires are a crucial enabling technology for virtually all of the envisioned future applications of nanotechnology, whether primarily electrical, electro-mechanical, or even electrical and organic, in areas from healthcare to improved computers. The university research is closely coordinated with the development of grade 6-12 instructional strategies, tools, and materials that promote the desired student developmental progression in nanoscale science. Recruiting and mentoring of underrepresented minority students, in which the Principal Investigator is actively involved, will result in broadening participation in engineering and science. All participants in this program, whether at secondary or university level, will become aware of the need for US technological innovation. University level students will also be trained to enter the workforce in various areas of nanoscale science and engineering.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。这个教师早期职业发展（职业）项目的研究目标是发明生产稳定纳米线的新程序，比人头发的直径小数千倍。稳定的纳米线将促进下一代技术，以改善美国的医疗保健，新的行业创造和全球竞争力。但是，尚不可用的具有所需电稳定性的纳米线。这项研究将使现有纳米线的有用寿命从几周或几个月到十年，以便将它们安全地集成到显微镜或纳米级电子系统中。因此，该研究计划要求（1）纳米线电气的经验和理论建模以及（2）测试制造复合纳米级材料系统的材料设计方法。纳米线是几乎所有设想的纳米技术的至关重要的技术，无论是纳米技术的未来应用程序，无论是对纳米技术的未来应用，无论是对电气机能的主要机构还是对电气机构的主要机构和电气化的影响，都可以进行。 大学的研究与6-12年级的教学策略，工具和材料的发展紧密协调，这些策略，工具和材料促进了纳米级科学中所需的学生发展发展。主要研究人员积极参与的代表性不足的少数族裔学生的招聘和指导将扩大参与工程和科学的参与。该计划的所有参与者，无论是在中学还是大学一级，都将意识到我们对美国技术创新的需求。大学一级的学生还将接受培训，以进入纳米级科学与工程领域的各个领域。
