The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, received a $545,430 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation to develop a new nanofabrication approach based on self-assembly of nanoscale materials guided by DNA molecules. This Faculty Early Career Development award, made on May 1, 2023 under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program, will support research through April 30, 2028 to maximize the amount of molecular recognition encoded in nanoscale and macroscale device components. By placing unique DNA sequences onto precise locations of nanoparticle and device surfaces, the awardee aims to enable nanoscale structures to autonomously recognize and bind to one another, allowing for the fabrication of complex nanoscale devices without conventional semiconductor methods. The research integrates an educational outreach program to introduce self-assembly concepts from K-12 through graduate levels. This aims to train a workforce for versatile, sustainable, and affordable future nanomanufacturing. As the parent organization, the State of California Controllers Office would administer any funding provided to UC Berkeley under the award.
