This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry provides $107,085 to California State University, Northridge for the acquisition and installation of a helium recovery system. The system will collect and recycle evaporated helium gas from two nuclear magnetic resonance instruments, reducing helium consumption by an estimated 70% and preserving access to these critical research tools. The award supports the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $322,980 Project Grant to the University of Toledo for the "MRI: TRACK 3 ACQUISITION OF HELIUM RECOVERY EQUIPMENT TO ESTABLISH A SUSTAINABLE NMR FACILITY". This grant, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, is funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports the University of Toledo's acquisition of a helium recovery system to capture and reLiquefy...
This $320,810 National Science Foundation project grant supports the acquisition of a helium recovery and liquefaction system by Indiana University Bloomington. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the system will capture helium gas evaporating from eight nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers in the university's NMR facility. By recycling this helium into liquid form for reuse, the facility expects to substantially reduce its annual purchases of...
The National Science Foundation awarded Wayne State University a two-year Project Grant totaling $299,715 under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to develop continuous adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration below 1K without helium-3. The university will research a continuous refrigeration method using paramagnetic nanoparticles circulated in a helium-4 superfluid to achieve precise temperature control without solid materials. Experiments will characterize magnetization and...
This $190,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports the acquisition and implementation of a helium recovery system at the University of Kansas. Dr. Justin Douglas and the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. will install manifolds to collect helium exhaust from nine scientific instruments across four buildings without disrupting operations. The collected gas will be compressed into high-pressure cylinders for...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports the acquisition and retrofitting of a helium recovery system at the University of Missouri System's Missouri University of Science & Technology (Missouri S&T) campus. The $255,443 grant will enable Missouri S&T, in collaboration with the University of Missouri Columbia and Washington University, to significantly upgrade their existing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), awarded a $271,925 Project Grant to Montana State University (MSU) to acquire a helium recovery system for their NMR core facility. This system will reduce MSU's consumption of liquid helium, which is required to operate the state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers. The helium recovery system will lower the facility's operational costs and carbon footprint, making the NMR core's activities more sustainable...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $500,408 Project Grant to Oregon State University (OSU) to acquire and install an integrated helium capture and recovery system for the university's Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facility. This system will enable the recycling of at least 90% of the over 1,000 liters of liquid helium used annually by the facility's five NMR spectrometers, including Oregon's two highest field NMR instruments. The project...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $287,576 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to acquire a helium recovery system for its magnetic resonance research facilities. The award will enable UCSB to mitigate the impacts of the global helium supply crisis on their state-of-the-art materials characterization capabilities, which support over 50 research groups across disciplines like chemistry, physics, materials science,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program, awarded a $399,999 Project Grant to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to develop upgrades to the university's Central Helium Liquefier and Recovery Facility (CHLRF). This project aims to improve the operational efficiency and system longevity of the CHLRF, as well as expand its capacity for liquid helium storage and gas recovery. The upgrades will increase the...
