NON-TECHNICAL ABSTRACTThe unique FunsizePhysics website invites the science-curious public to experience some of the excitement of current scientific discovery in condensed matter physics as it unfolds. The website offers cutting edge science written by the scientists themselves and strives to be welcoming with beautiful graphics and simple everyday language that relates to everyday experience. Active researchers describe the wonder, beauty and potential of ground-breaking nanoscience on this website, in the belief that the science-curious public of any age should be able to explore and understand current scientific advances. The collection of current research by scientists makes their work broadly accessible. The description of fundamental concepts by leading researchers in their fields describes everyday concepts and techniques that are basic to research in condensed matter science. Activities that can be performed at home relate back to both current research and to basic concepts and techniques. This project implements strategies that will advance the goal of explosive growth for this website, using existing resources to speed the rate of new contributions and expand the social media presence of Funsize Physics. The ability to draw a larger audience ensures a bigger reach and broader impacts on a larger proportion of the population, to fulfill the goals of science literacy, public engagement, and broadening participation in STEM education.TECHNICAL ABSTRACTFunsizephysics.com serves as a repository for the ground-breaking research of the condensed matter physics community, with visually appealing, relatable, and evocative descriptions of the community's research and activities and serves an important mission of "promoting the progress of science". This proposal outlines strategies that will advance the goal of explosive growth for this website, using existing resources to speed the rate of new contributions and expand the social media presence of Funsize Physics. The project will increase engagement with traditionally underrepresented groups, both as contributors and as users, by collaborating with underrepresented minority institutions and by posting Spanish language translations of our posts. The Intellectual Merit of this proposal lies in the analysis of best practices for communicating to a broad audience of interested and curious non-scientists. The use of detailed statistics gathered on the website provide an extensive data set on posts, media platforms, and point of entry into the website. Analysis of these data sets aims to strengthen strategies to engage the public and provide both the impetus and the confidence for scientists to reach out. The Broader Impact of the Funsize Physics project is dedicated to disseminating current research results and successful physics-based activities from the condensed matter community to a broad audience.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

非技术摘要独特的 FunsizePhysics 网站邀请对科学好奇的公众体验当前凝聚态物理科学发现的一些令人兴奋的事情。 该网站提供由科学家自己撰写的前沿科学知识，并努力通过与日常经验相关的精美图形和简单的日常语言来欢迎人们。 活跃的研究人员在此网站上描述了突破性纳米科学的奇迹、美丽和潜力，相信任何年龄段的科学好奇公众都应该能够探索和理解当前的科学进步。科学家当前研究的收集使他们的工作能够被广泛使用。各自领域的领先研究人员对基本概念的描述描述了凝聚态科学研究的基础日常概念和技术。可以在家进行的活动既涉及当前的研究，也涉及基本概念和技术。该项目实施的战略将推进该网站爆炸性增长的目标，利用现有资源加快新贡献的速度并扩大 Funsize 物理的社交媒体影响力。吸引更多受众的能力确保了对更大比例人口的更大影响力和更广泛的影响，以实现科学素养、公众参与和扩大 STEM 教育参与的目标。技术摘要Funsizephysicals.com 是凝聚态物理界的开创性研究，对社区的研究和活动进行视觉上吸引人的、相关的、令人回味的描述，并服务于“促进科学进步”的重要使命。 该提案概述了推动该网站爆炸性增长目标的策略，利用现有资源加快新贡献的速度并扩大 Funsize 物理的社交媒体影响力。该项目将通过与代表性不足的少数群体机构合作以及发布我们帖子的西班牙语翻译，增加与传统上代表性不足的群体（无论是作为贡献者还是用户）的互动。该提案的学术价值在于分析了与广大感兴趣和好奇的非科学家进行交流的最佳实践。使用网站上收集的详细统计数据可以提供有关帖子、媒体平台和网站入口点的广泛数据集。对这些数据集的分析旨在加强公众参与的策略，并为科学家提供参与的动力和信心。 Funsize 物理项目的更广泛影响致力于向广大受众传播凝聚态物质界当前的研究成果和成功的基于物理的活动。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
