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,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) award of $167,500 supports the installation of a helium recovery system at the John D. Fox Superconducting Accelerator Laboratory at Florida State University. The project aims to eliminate helium losses during scheduled warm-ups and unforeseeable power disruptions, which account for approximately 45% of the laboratory's helium inventory. The recovered helium will enable more efficient and flexible operation of the...
This $399,999 project grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support the development and improvement of helium liquefaction and recovery equipment at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The project, led by Professors Jeffrey Filippini, Liviu Mirica, and Dr. Dean Olson, aims to upgrade the university's Central Helium Liquefier and Recovery Facility (CHLRF) to increase its helium recovery efficiency from 74% to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $431,976 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin). The award supports the acquisition of a helium recovery system to enable continued quantum materials research and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments at the university. The helium recovery system will recapture and recondense exhaust helium gas from low-temperature research instruments, improving the reliability...
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...
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...
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...
This $255,443 grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports the acquisition and installation of a helium recovery system at the Missouri University of Science & Technology (Missouri S&T). The system will significantly upgrade the existing Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS) used for advanced materials research, including studies of quantum materials, composite materials, and battery materials. The enhanced PPMS will...
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...
This $298,422 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports Baylor University's acquisition of a helium recovery system for their NMR core research facility. The project enables Baylor to capture and reliquefy approximately 90% of the 1,000 liters of liquid helium used annually by their five NMR spectrometers, providing a sustainable and cost-effective supply of high-purity helium to support a wide range of...
