The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $199,702 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for the "CAREER: FUNDAMENTALS OF CONFORMATIONAL AND SURFACE WATER DYNAMICS IN SUPRAMOLECULAR NANOFIBERS" research project. Through this 16-month grant, Professor Julia Ortony at UCSD is studying the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules, which possess both water-loving and fat-loving properties, to create self-assembled nanostructures. The research...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $500,000 will fund research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to study the assembly, disassembly, and mechanics of porous colloidal vesicles from April 15, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The research aims to advance understanding of fundamental processes involved in vesicle formation that are relevant across fields including physics, biology, engineering, and materials science. The university researchers will utilize state-of-the-art...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,200,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Washington to conduct research on liquid-liquid phase separation in lipid membranes. The 4-year project aims to: 1) test if asymmetric lipid vesicles phase separate similar to flat membranes; 2) develop new methods to determine lipid ratios in coexisting membrane phases and analyze lipid compositions of vesicles; and 3) use Raman imaging and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems award of $234,000 to the University of Illinois will support collaborative research on developing an active lipid vesicle-based drug delivery system. The project aims to accomplish three key objectives: 1) examine the directed motion of lipid vesicles driven by encapsulated self-propelled particles, 2) develop a non-contact photoreaction mechanism to induce rupture and controlled...
This $150,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at Penn State University to develop microfluidic platforms that harness energy from chemical reactions to enable autonomous fluid transport. Specifically, the award will examine the effects of molecular-scale chemistry on microscale confined fluid flow, and vice versa, to uncover new modes of chemically induced motion and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study highly electron-deficient carbon, boron and silicon compounds. The goal of this 3-year research project, which falls under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is to isolate and characterize compounds containing main group elements with as few as 4 or 5 valence electrons. This builds on prior work demonstrating that...
This is a $600,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Davis. The award supports research investigating the fundamental mechanisms underlying liquid-liquid phase separation and membrane remodeling in cell-like environments. The project aims to quantify the dynamics of phase coarsening, map relationships between intravesicular macromolecular crowding and membrane changes, and...
The University of California, San Diego will deliver a project titled "Responsive Materials from Self-Assembling Nucleic Acid Nanoshapes" through a $535,012 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year award running from July 2021 to June 2024 will support research into developing responsive materials using self-assembling nucleic acid nanostructures. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Arizona State University, through its Division of Materials Research, a $318,694 CAREER grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The purpose of this 26-month project is to develop strategies to incorporate responsive, pore-forming structures into polymeric vesicles, aiming to create cell-like materials that can respond to mechanical, optical, and pH stimuli. The research seeks to advance the understanding of...
This $681,168 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of methods to control the stacking of tiny donut-shaped molecules into nanotubular structures. Professor Linda S. Shimizu of the University of South Carolina will lead this 4-year project to study the supramolecular assembly of urea macrocycles and develop strategies to regulate the size,...
