... Or may be some photonic materials?

[OSP]

Hello again, Engineers!

Here is another upcoming deadline from the NSF, this one focuses on electronic and photonic materials, and the program goal “is to advance the field of electronics and photonics through basic, potentially transformative materials science research. The scope of the program encompasses the discovery and understanding of materials and material combinations with potential for major technological advantages. Program focus is on identification and understanding of fundamental atomic and molecular level mechanisms and phenomena associated with synthesis and processing of electronic and photonic materials. High risk, high payoff research is encouraged.”

The deadline for this is also October 31.  More information can be found here:  http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5353&WT.mc_id=USNSF_39&WT.mc_ev=click
