The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office selected two ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø professors in the Department of Chemistry and the Clean Energy Institute to receive nearly $1.5 million in funding for two separate endeavors in solar photovoltaic research. The projects are led by Daniel Gamelin, director of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø-based Molecular Engineering Materials Center, and David Ginger, chief scientist at the CEI and co-director of the Northwest Institute for Materials Physics, Chemistry and Technology, a partnership between the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø and its Clean Energy Institute named Kevin Klustner executive director of the Center for Advanced Materials and Clean Energy Technologies, or CAMCET. When complete, CAMCET will be a 340,000-square-foot building that will bring together ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø scientists and engineers with industry, civic and nonprofit partners to accelerate clean energy solutions for a healthy planet.

The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded an expected $10.75 million, four-year grant to the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and other partner institutions for a new interdisciplinary research center to define the enigmatic rules that govern how molecular-scale building blocks assemble into ordered structures and give rise to complex hierarchical materials.

The Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø announced the creation of the Northwest Institute for Materials Physics, Chemistry and Technology — or NW IMPACT — a joint research endeavor to power discoveries and advancements in materials that transform energy, telecommunications, medicine, information technology and other fields.
