NON-TECHNICAL ABSTRACTThe unique FunsizePhysics website invites the science-curious public to experience some of the excitement of current scientific discovery in condensed matter physics as it unfolds. The website offers cutting edge science written by the scientists themselves and strives to be welcoming with beautiful graphics and simple everyday language that relates to everyday experience. Active researchers describe the wonder, beauty and potential of ground-breaking nanoscience on this website, in the belief that the science-curious public of any age should be able to explore and understand current scientific advances. The collection of current research by scientists makes their work broadly accessible. The description of fundamental concepts by leading researchers in their fields describes everyday concepts and techniques that are basic to research in condensed matter science. Activities that can be performed at home relate back to both current research and to basic concepts and techniques. This project implements strategies that will advance the goal of explosive growth for this website, using existing resources to speed the rate of new contributions and expand the social media presence of Funsize Physics. The ability to draw a larger audience ensures a bigger reach and broader impacts on a larger proportion of the population, to fulfill the goals of science literacy, public engagement, and broadening participation in STEM education.TECHNICAL ABSTRACTFunsizephysics.com serves as a repository for the ground-breaking research of the condensed matter physics community, with visually appealing, relatable, and evocative descriptions of the community's research and activities and serves an important mission of "promoting the progress of science". This proposal outlines strategies that will advance the goal of explosive growth for this website, using existing resources to speed the rate of new contributions and expand the social media presence of Funsize Physics. The project will increase engagement with traditionally underrepresented groups, both as contributors and as users, by collaborating with underrepresented minority institutions and by posting Spanish language translations of our posts. The Intellectual Merit of this proposal lies in the analysis of best practices for communicating to a broad audience of interested and curious non-scientists. The use of detailed statistics gathered on the website provide an extensive data set on posts, media platforms, and point of entry into the website. Analysis of these data sets aims to strengthen strategies to engage the public and provide both the impetus and the confidence for scientists to reach out. The Broader Impact of the Funsize Physics project is dedicated to disseminating current research results and successful physics-based activities from the condensed matter community to a broad audience.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

非技术性摘要独特的FunsizePhysics网站邀请对科学好奇的公众体验当前凝聚态物理学科学发现的一些兴奋之处。 该网站提供由科学家自己撰写的尖端科学，并努力以美丽的图形和与日常经验相关的简单日常语言欢迎。 活跃的研究人员在这个网站上描述了突破性纳米科学的奇迹，美丽和潜力，相信任何年龄的科学好奇的公众都应该能够探索和理解当前的科学进步。科学家们的最新研究成果使他们的工作更容易获得。由各自领域的主要研究人员对基本概念的描述了凝聚态科学研究的基本日常概念和技术。可以在家里进行的活动涉及到当前的研究和基本概念和技术。该项目实施的战略将推进本网站爆炸性增长的目标，利用现有资源加快新贡献的速度，并扩大Funsize Physics的社交媒体存在。吸引更多观众的能力确保了对更大比例的人口产生更大的影响和更广泛的影响，以实现科学素养，公众参与和扩大STEM教育参与的目标。技术ABSTRACTFunsizephysics.com作为凝聚态物理社区突破性研究的知识库，具有视觉吸引力，相关性，并对社区的研究和活动进行了令人回味的描述，并服务于“促进科学进步”的重要使命。 该提案概述了将推进本网站爆炸性增长目标的战略，利用现有资源加快新贡献的速度并扩大Funsize Physics的社交媒体存在。该项目将通过与代表性不足的少数群体机构合作，并通过将我们的帖子翻译成西班牙语，增加与传统上代表性不足的群体的接触，无论是作为贡献者还是作为用户。这一建议的知识价值在于分析最佳做法，以便向广大感兴趣和好奇的非科学家受众进行交流。使用网站上收集的详细统计数据提供了关于帖子、媒体平台和网站入口的广泛数据集。对这些数据集的分析旨在加强公众参与的战略，并为科学家提供动力和信心。Funsize Physics项目的更广泛影响致力于向广大受众传播凝聚态物质社区当前的研究成果和成功的基于物理学的活动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
