ENERGY FRONTIER RESEARCH CENTERS

The Nanostructures for Electrical Energy Storage (NEES) EFRC is a multi-institutional research center, one of the 46 original Energy Frontier Research Centers established by the US Department of Energy in 2009. The group's focus is developing highly ordered nanostructures that offer a unique testbed for investigating the underpinnings of storing electrical energy... The University of Maryland Energy Frontier Research Center is one of 46 centers accross the country dedicated to research on energy related subject. The funding comes from a President Obama and U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science investment of over $777 million. The University of Maryland's proposal involves research on the interaction of nanostructures as a means of storing energy, and increasing storage density.
