Important Information And Revision Notes

The third MIP competition, in 2025, will accept proposals on alloys, amorphous, and composite materials. Proposals mainly on biomaterials and polymer research will not be considered in the third MIP competition because the second MIP competition in 2019 included an emphasis on these topics.

Any proposal submitted in response to this solicitation should be submitted in accordance with the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) that is in effect at the time the proposal is submitted. The NSF PAPPG is regularly revised and it is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets the requirements specified in this solicitation and the applicable version

Why materials science is key to unlocking the next frontier of AI development

The Intel 4004, the first commercial microprocessor, was released in 1971. With 2,300 transistors packed into 12mm2, it heralded a revolution in computing. A little over 50 years later, Apple’s M2 Ultra contains 134 billion transistors.

The scale of progress is difficult to comprehend, but the evolution of semiconductors, driven for decades by Moore’s Law, has paved a path from the emergence of personal computing and the internet to today’s AI revolution.

But this pace of innovation is not guaranteed, and the next frontier of technological advances—from the future of AI to new computing paradigms—will only happen if we think differently.

Atomic challenges

The modern microchip stretches both the limits of physics and credulity. Such is the atomic precision, that a few atoms can decide the function of an entire chip. This marvel of engineering is the result of over 50 years of

Prenatal exposure to certain environmental chemicals may pose significant risks to liver health for both mothers and their newborns. But the researchers also found that treating women with folic acid and other B vitamins during pregnancy may counter some adverse effects of prenatal exposures on the livers of children.
