We recognize the societal and economic importance of accelerating the discovery, design, and deployment of materials.
How Has DMREF Fared in the Last Decade?

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine evaluates the goals and accomplishments of NSF’s DMREF Program.
From Theory to Application: How the DMREF Program Helps Accelerate Advanced Materials Research

What began as a small program with roughly 14 projects has now expanded to more than 150 projects. DMREF teams from universities across the U.S. collaborate to discover, develop, and help manufacture new materials.
Materials Database Helps Make Diverse Datasets Available Individually and Rapidly

MatD3 is an open-source, dedicated database and web application framework designed to store, curate and disseminate experimental and theoretical materials data.
Chemoresponsive Liquid Crystal Research Database
Crystallographic Distribution of Curvatures in Steel

How is the motion of an interface between two solid crystals related to its shape? This is a question that was impossible to address in the past because we were not able to see within solids.

From Theory to Application: How the DMREF Program Helps Accelerate Advanced Materials Research

What began as a small program with roughly 14 projects has now expanded to more than 200 projects. DMREF teams from universities across the U.S. collaborate to discover, develop, and help manufacture new materials.
