The US Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) recently committed $25 million to create the Consortium for Nuclear Forensics (CNF), a five-year research partnership led by the University of Florida (UF) that spans seven national labs and 16 universities, including UT. The participating universities are contributing an additional $1.4M to the project’s funding.

The consortium is divided into five groups focused on goals like rapid turnaround forensics and advanced analytical methods. The teams will independently research and develop new technologies and methods in support of the NNSA’s nuclear security and nonproliferation missions.

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, celebrated the groundbreaking of Innovation South, an 85,000-square-foot multi-use facility at the UT Research Park at Cherokee Farm . The facility will be the new expanded home of UT’s Fibers and Composites Manufacturing Facility (FCMF), the longtime vision of UT–ORNL Governor’s Chair for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Uday Vaidya.

Innovation South will also provide critical workforce training for Tennesseans. Students from high schools, community and technical colleges and universities, as well as workers seeking upskilling, will be trained on industry-relevant equipment and learn about material design and evaluation, advanced manufacturing processes and quality control.

The new Center for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing (CAMM) at UT Knoxville will receive $18 million in NSF funding to develop sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) and computational tools and deploy them in the design and synthesis of next-generation materials in two areas: quantum materials and materials for extreme environments. CAMM researchers will characterize these revolutionary materials using state-of-the-art instruments at UT and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). “We have a deep bench of expertise in quantum materials and materials for extremes,” said Chancellor Donde Plowman. “This prestigious NSF award recognizes the ingenuity of our faculty, staff and student researchers and makes clear that UT Knoxville, and the state of Tennessee, is a global leader in these areas.”

Next-generation materials and manufacturing are central to meeting the future needs of society, including ensuring the widespread availability of sustainable energy sources, supporting advances in computing and communications, enabling a global transition to a circular economy and promising a safer and more secure future for people around the world.

Two UT faculty will receive up to $600,000 from the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Defense Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR) award. DEPSCoR is a capacity-building program designed to strengthen the basic research infrastructure at institutions of higher education in underutilized states/territories.

The DEPSCor Research Collaboration competition is open to tenured and tenure-track faculty members in 37 states/territories, leading to over 115 white papers to compete for DEPSCoR funds. Subject matter experts in the Military Services selected the final 25 collaborative teams, which included Eric Lass, assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and Haidong Zhou, associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
