The global pandemic has put a strain on global supply chains, especially for semiconductors. Dr. Alan Mantooth is leading a group of engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas to build and operate a research and fabrication laboratory to work on a new and improved type of semiconductor, hopefully providing domestic innovation and development. The $17.87 million grant comes from the National Science Foundation.
