Gov. Jenniffer González Colón announced on Thursday the allocation of $380,701 from the National Science Foundation to the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus to develop a scientific research project.
“This strategic investment reaffirms the potential of our universities to lead in key STEM areas,” the governor said in a written statement. “Projects like this help drive innovation and promote education about energy resources and technology.”
The project, titled “Advancing Trivalent Indium-Based Battery Systems: From Plating Behavior to Ion Insertion Chemistry,” began on March 1, 2025, and seeks to develop new energy technologies based on trivalent indium battery systems.
The National Science Foundation, a federal agency that promotes scientific advancement, supports research in key areas for the development of advanced technology, including energy and materials.
