The experiments aim...
- Under a $470,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professors de Vries and Gordon at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) will develop a novel nanoscale sampling and chemical analysis technique. This "nanoscale-biopsy" approach will allow for high-resolution imaging and detailed chemical characterization of minuscule samples, addressing a critical need in areas such as chemical diagnostics,...
- This $499,604 National Science Foundation project grant will support the development of new analytical tools and methods for examining nanoscale molecular structures and arrangements at the California State University, Northridge. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professor Michael Eller and his students will utilize massive gold clusters as projectiles in secondary ion mass spectrometry to study nanoparticles and molecular assemblies with spatial...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded $950,000 to the University of California, Berkeley under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to support research on the chemistry and physics of charged aqueous nanodrops and their applications in mass spectrometry. Professor Evan Williams and his group will investigate how the size and shape of electrospray ionization emitters affect initial droplet size and mass spectrometry performance. They will use charge detection mass spectrometry to determine initial nanodrop sizes and infer information about the ion formation process. Computational modeling and experiments on trapped aqueous nanodrops below 40 nm in diameter also seek to improve understanding of ion emission. Additional goals include exploring emitter characteristics that enhance native mass spectrometry using conventional biochemical buffers and investigating the effects of different matrices on protein stability, structure, and stoichiometry using resistively heated capillaries and a new laser-based method.
