The Division of Chemistry supports Liam Pingree of the University of Washington (UW) as a Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 academic years. Dr. Pingree's research is targeted at the development of new atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques focused on understanding organic solar cell efficiencies and lifetimes. Pingree will examine electronic properties at the nanometer scale using AFM to monitor fluctuations in mobility, charge decay rates, and variations in monochromatic efficiency. This will enable detailed studies of the relationship between the physical structure of the materials and their electronic properties. An improved understanding of these relationships could lead to significant improvements in organic solar cells. The service component of this project focuses on the education of the public on alternative energy sources. Pingree will design and carry out an educational campaign on the Seattle metro bus system in conjunction with the UW School of Art's Visual Communications and Design Program and the UW Department of Technical Communications. This campaign will focus on on-transit education while directing people to a website that provides information on more detailed topics and other educational resources at the University of Washington. The goals of the campaign are to reach individuals missed by traditional outreach programs and to improve the scientific literacy of the Seattle public. If successful, these programs could be implemented in other metro areas within the United States.The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program seeks new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with professional service. Discovery Corps Fellows leverage their research expertise through projects that address areas of national need. Their projects enhance research capacity and infrastructure and contribute to workforce development and job creation. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.

化学部支持华盛顿大学（UW）的Liam Pingree作为2007-2008和2008-2009学年的探索队博士后研究员。 Pingree博士的研究目标是开发新的原子力显微镜（AFM）技术，重点是了解有机太阳能电池的效率和寿命。 Pingree将使用AFM在纳米尺度上检查电子特性，以监测迁移率，电荷衰减率和单色效率变化的波动。 这将使详细研究材料的物理结构和它们的电子性质之间的关系成为可能。 对这些关系的进一步理解可能会导致有机太阳能电池的重大改进。 该项目的服务部分侧重于对公众进行关于替代能源的教育。 平利将与华盛顿大学艺术学院的视觉传播和设计项目以及华盛顿大学技术传播系一起设计和开展一项关于西雅图地铁巴士系统的教育活动。这项活动将侧重于过境教育，同时引导人们访问一个网站，该网站提供有关华盛顿大学更详细主题和其他教育资源的信息。 该运动的目标是接触到传统外展计划遗漏的个人，并提高西雅图公众的科学素养。 如果成功的话，这些项目可以在美国的其他大都市地区实施。探索军团奖学金项目寻求新的博士后和专业发展模式，将联合收割机的研究专长与专业服务相结合。探索团研究员通过解决国家需求领域的项目利用他们的研究专长。他们的项目提高了研究能力和基础设施，并有助于劳动力发展和创造就业机会。探索队计划支持博士后研究员和高级研究员。
