The Board of Trustees of Illinois State University received a $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support collaborative research on cooperative processes at surfaces from June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2026. The grantee and sub-awardees from Washington State University will investigate how single molecules interact with reactive sites and impact nearby domains using scanning tunneling microscopy measurements, density functional theory, and molecular dynamics simulations. The researchers aim to develop a comprehensive model of reaction cooperativity at surfaces to improve predictability of reactivity in surface chemistry, catalysis, and sensor development. High school, undergraduate, and graduate students will be mentored in research as part of this effort.
