- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $164,302 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant to Dr. Anthony Shoji Hall at Johns Hopkins University. This 5-year Project Grant, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research to develop low-temperature methods for synthesizing ordered intermetallic nanomaterials. The goal is to enable greater control over these materials' properties and expand their application in technologies like...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,664 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The award will fund collaborative research between the University of Delaware, Arizona State University, and Washington University in St. Louis to investigate how the presence of halides influences the crystal structure of certain classes of metal and lanthanide chalcogenide nanoparticles during synthesis. The researchers...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $595,476 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant will support a 3-year research project to study and develop a new class of immobilization substrates, namely mesoporous protein crystals, for critical element separation. The project aims to obtain a comprehensive understanding of protein crystals as substrates for immobilizing metal-binding proteins (MBPs) to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award, funded through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research by Rowan University to investigate the behavior of foreign species during crystal growth processes. The $232,441 project, awarded on February 1, 2024, aims to study how impurities or dopants interact with and incorporate into organic molecular crystals. Key research activities include using transport theory and laser interferometry to understand guest molecule diffusion and the loss of face selectivity in crystal formation. The project integrates this fundamental materials research with an education and outreach plan involving hands-on crystallization workshops for middle and high school students, as well as research opportunities with industrial mentors for undergraduate and graduate students. Findings from this work have potential applications in developing new tunable crystalline materials and improving the purification of pharmaceutical and food products.
