Trustees of Union College received a two-year $199,994 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to conduct research exploring the auxetic behavior of graphene oxide membranes. Specifically, the college will investigate the structural basis for this counterintuitive property where stretching in one direction results in expansion perpendicular to the force. Undergraduate students will gain research experience conducting experiments testing two...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $330,000 over 3 years to Santa Clara University to conduct research on developing molecular coatings to stabilize gold nanoparticles in aqueous environments. The research team, led by Professor Amelia A. Fuller, will synthesize and purify dozens of peptoid molecules with varying properties to identify the optimal molecular features for stabilizing gold nanoparticles. This...
