$1 million for Texas State: Small tech pays big bucks

Abstract:
Federal funds totalling $1 million have been approved for Texas State University's Center for Hetero-Functional Materials' (CHM) to aid in the development of the next generation of devices to be used for military, medical and commercial applications.

Prof. Thomas H. Myers, director of the Materials Science and Engineering Program at Texas State University, said, "The Center for Hetero-Functional Materials provides the foundation for interdisciplinary-based research in advanced functional materials to drive the innovation and discovery required for solutions to pressing issues of societal impact in energy, environment, health, security, and in the emerging nanotechnology revolution that will impact all segments of the economy and our lives.
