This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) site in Physics at Purdue University. For the past 23 years, the program has provided first-hand research experience to 300 undergraduate students and 42 teachers. During the new funding period, each summer the program will provide 12 undergraduate physics majors from across the country with individual ten-week-long research projects emphasizing one-to-one mentoring with faculty from a wide range of disciplines within the Purdue University Department of Physics and Astronomy. Interactions with the community of scientists is emphasized with a unique interdisciplinary science “pizza seminar” series, two required public talks on their research, an abstract on the research, tours of Purdue scientific facilities, including the unique Brick Nanotechnology Center, field trips to national facilities at Fermilab and Argonne, REU Olympics at Notre Dame University, plus picnics, ball games, canoe trips and other social activities arranged by this REU program and the university-wide SROP program. The weekly “pizza seminar” series combines Physics REU participants with students from other Purdue summer sites (REU & SURF at Biology, Chemistry, Engineering etc.) to emphasize interdisciplinary opportunities and interactions among students across many fields. Similar objectives are designed for two RET participants, whose research activities will be reflected in their subsequent classroom teaching, inspiring their own students about careers in research. The participants in this REU program will collaborate with their mentors and other researchers to advance the diverse state-of-the-art areas of physics, such as: nanophysics of electrons in reduced dimensional conductors, the dynamical behavior in proteins, the quantum mechanisms of photosynthesis, single molecule/protein dynamic imaging, the use of cosmogenic nuclei as chronometers in geoscience, coherent imaging of tumor, particle detectors with improved hardness and resolution, detectors for TeV radiation, investigation of dark matter, novel application of nuclear detectors for sensing hazardous materials, properties of graphene, application of biofilms in seismic measurements, the fundamental nature of nuclear decay, enhanced long-baseline imaging for radio astronomy, seismic propagation in structures of geologic interest, the quantum nature of bird magnetoreception, analysis of data collected by at Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and other current topics of importance.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.

该奖项支持普渡大学物理学的教师（RET）网站的本科生（REU）的研究经验的更新。在过去的23年中，该计划为300名本科生和42名教师提供了第一手研究经验。在新的资金期间，每个夏天，该计划将提供来自全国各地的12个本科物理专业的专业，其中为期十周的研究项目强调了普渡大学物理与天文学系的各种学科的一对一心态。 Interactions with the community of scientists is emphasized with a unique interdisciplinary science “pizza seminal” series, two required public talks on their research, an abstract on the research, tours of Purdue scientific facilities, including the unique Brick Nanotechnology Center, field trips to national facilities at Fermilab and Argonne, REU Olympics at Notre Dame University, plus picnics, ball games, canoe trips and other social activities arranged by此REU计划和大学范围的SROP计划。每周的“披萨精”系列将物理REU参与者与来自其他普渡大学夏季站点的学生（REU和Surf in Biology，Chemistry，Ensive，Engineering等）相结合，以强调许多领域的学生之间的跨学科机会和互动。类似的目标是为两个RET参与者设计的，他们的研究活动将在其随后的课堂教学中得到体现，从而激发了自己的学生有关研究的职业。该REU计划的参与者将与他们的导师和其他研究人员合作，以推动物理学的最先进领域，例如：电子中电子的纳米物理学在降低导体中的纳米物理学，蛋白质中的动态行为，光合作用的量子机制，光合作用的量子机制，单分子/蛋白质动力学成像的单分子/蛋白质动力学界面，用于基因的核能，地理位置核能，地理位置核心，以构成基础的核能，在地理上，图像中的核能，图像中的核能素质性，在地理位置上的核能核能，图像元素。具有改善硬度和分辨率的探测器，用于TEV辐射的检测器，对暗物质的研究，核检测器在传感危险物质中的新应用，石墨烯的特性，在地震测量中的应用，生物膜的应用，核衰减的基本性质，在鸟类范围内的长期传播的近气效果，从而增强了鸟类的分析性，地球的分析性，地球范围的繁荣性，鸟类的分析性，鸟类的分析性，该分析性的鸟类学，该鸟类的分析性，该鸟类的质量学，该地球的分析，该鸟类的分析，该鸟类的质量学，该鸟类的分析，该鸟类的分析性，该鸟类的分析性，该鸟类的分析性质，该鸟类的分析性，地球范围内的鸟类图像，该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来反映了NSF的法定任务，该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务。
