This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems aims to assess the effect of microgravity on growth and properties of metal-organic framework (MOF) crystals. With a total funding amount of $247,500 and an award period from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025, the grant will support collaborative research between the University of California, Berkeley and the International Space Station (ISS) to grow three types...
This $420,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research on the effects of microgravity conditions on crystal growth and particle self-assembly during directional solidification of solutions. The research aims to reveal the subtle forces involved in these processes when gravity is removed, and compare the structural features obtained in microgravity versus on Earth. The research will integrate experimental...
This $320,000 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports collaborative research between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and other institutions to study crystal growth and particle self-assembly during directional solidification in microgravity conditions on the International Space Station (ISS). The research aims to reveal the subtle forces involved in growing solvent crystals and forming particle assemblies, which...
This five-year, $616,685 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research at Arizona State University to elucidate the synergistic effects of composition, porosity, and structural rigidity on the mechanics of metallic organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are porous hybrid materials consisting of metallic ions connected by organic linkers to form a vast reinforced network with potential for industrial CO2 capture, separation, and storage applications. The grant will support an integrated...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) grant award to Mattiq Inc. provides $275,000 to conduct a Phase I SBIR project exploring the impacts of microgravity on catalyst crystallization and performance. The project aims to utilize an ultra-high-throughput catalyst synthesis and screening technology to directly compare over 1 million unique catalyst materials synthesized under Earth and low-Earth orbit gravitational conditions. This work...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award, funded through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research by Rowan University to investigate the behavior of foreign species during crystal growth processes. The $232,441 project, awarded on February 1, 2024, aims to study how impurities or dopants interact with and incorporate into organic molecular crystals. Key research activities include using transport theory and laser interferometry to understand...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to understand the physical mechanisms driving segregation in molten metallic alloys under microgravity conditions. The $108,237 award to the University of Kentucky Research Foundation will fund a series of experiments on the International Space Station, along with complementary ground-based modeling, to investigate capillary flow and microstructure...
This Project Grant award of $250,209 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to investigate the motion and assembly of self-propelled particles, known as "Marangoni surfers," along curved fluid interfaces. The primary objective is to establish a computational-experimental framework to capture the complex interactions between the motion of active particles, the transport of released species, and the effects of interface curvature and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $595,476 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant will support a 3-year research project to study and develop a new class of immobilization substrates, namely mesoporous protein crystals, for critical element separation. The project aims to obtain a comprehensive understanding of protein crystals as substrates for immobilizing metal-binding proteins (MBPs) to...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $270,000 will fund research at the University of California, Berkeley from August 2022 to July 2026 under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The research aims to study particle adsorption dynamics at fluid interfaces under microgravity conditions aboard the International Space Station. Specifically, the grant will support experiments to elucidate how particles attach to droplets in the absence of sedimentation effects and develop...
