DARPA is offering this grant to support innovative, multidisciplinary research developing scalable synthesis methods for extended solids. These materials possess superior properties (over 1.5X SOA) but currently necessitate ultrahigh-pressure techniques. This grant aims to enable their production under manufacturing-amenable conditions (below 2000 K and 0.5 GPa) ensuring stability in ambient environments. Extended solids are unique polymorphs, formed under high pressure, known for strong intermolecular bonding that dramatically enhances physical, mechanical, and functional properties. This grant is for making these high-performance materials accessible and manufacturable for widespread use.

| Description: | DARPA is soliciting innovative multidisciplinary research proposals to develop and demonstrate synthesis methods of materials with superior properties (>1.5X over SOA) that currently can only be made using ultrahigh pressure techniques, such that processing under conditions amenable to production scales (<2000 K and 0.5 GPa) and stability under ambient conditions is achieved. Extended solids are polymorphs/phases of simple molecules that are currently formed under ultrahigh pressure conditions where strong intermolecular bonding and tight crystal packing can be induced, leading to dramatic changes in physical, mechanical, and functional properties.
