Looking to Collaborate?

M-STAR is currently in the process of building our case for the next stage in MXene research as a Phase II Center for Chemical Innovation with the NSF. We will proceed to Phase II with the collaboration of 7 to 8 additional principal investigators. We will be making our case to the National Science Foundation in October 2025; PIs who are interested in bringing their groups’ talents in two-dimensional materials and closely related fields in physical chemistry to bear on this exciting class of materials are encouraged to reach out early the Center Director.
