- This $452,422 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) to the University of California, Santa Cruz will support research to determine the molecular characteristics that govern the structure and electronic properties of coacervates - liquids with both viscous and elastic properties - composed of conjugated (semiconducting) polyelectrolytes. The research aims to understand the influence of ions on the nature and movement of...
- This Project Grant award of $600,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research by Dr. Read de Alaniz of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop new photoresponsive molecular materials that change shape, color, and properties when exposed to visible light. The goal is to create water-compatible and stable "photoswitches" that can enable self-healing and actuation in solid materials,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.079), awarded a $250,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley on August 1, 2024. This 4-year grant aims to gain new insights into the fundamental mechanisms of thylakoid biogenesis, the process of forming the intricate membrane structures within chloroplasts that enable photosynthesis in plants and algae. The project will leverage a...
The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco received a three-year, $374,994 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry. The grant supports collaborative research titled "De Novo Protein Constructs for Photosynthetic Energy Transduction" under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The research aims to advance understanding of major problems in photosynthesis through increasing the store of scientific knowledge on de novo protein constructs that can facilitate energy transduction. Specifically, the University of California, San Francisco will work with partners to develop novel protein designs for capturing and transferring solar energy through photosynthesis. Results of the research have the potential to enhance solar energy technologies. The grant period runs from November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2024 and will be performed at the University of California, San Francisco's location in San Francisco, California.
