- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $480,000 Project Grant through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The grant will fund a 3-year research project led by Professors Mingdi Yan and Lawrence Wolf to explore the functionalization of pristine graphene through Diels-Alder reactions. The researchers aim to create localized curved/distorted sites on graphene nanosheets by controlling the substrate topography, in order...
- The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Illinois a $700,485 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop two-dimensional amorphous carbon materials with tunable atomic structures for use as a novel dielectric in electronic devices. Over a four-year period ending February 2026, the university will utilize a solution-based process to precisely control the thickness and degree of medium-range ordering in carbon monolayers and...
- This Project Grant award of $780,000, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will support Professor T. Don Tilley of the University of California, Berkeley in developing synthetic methodologies for the controlled, efficient, and scalable introduction of fused aromatic rings into large, tailored polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The goal is to create nanocarbon compounds that exhibit optical and electronic...
- This $495,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Rice University to investigate and control the properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes functionalized with guanine-linked DNA. Principal Investigator Robert Weisman and his team will conduct experiments and computations to further explore the nature and potential applications of these nanotube-DNA hybrid structures. Specifically, the work will deepen...
- This $600,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project to understand and control interfacial mass, charge, and energy transfer processes in hybrid nanomaterials composed of metal nanoparticles with conductive polymer coatings. The goal is to utilize charge transfer plasmons to optically transduce nanoscale details about the interfacial...
- This Project Grant award of $416,387 from the National Science Foundation's (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) program supports a collaborative research project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to investigate emergent phenomena and novel correlated phases of matter in a unique family of crystalline 2D semiconductor materials. The project aims to leverage the high material quality, electric gate tunability, and strongly interacting electrons within highly...
- This $299,998 federal Project Grant award is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports a collaborative research project at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) to investigate emergent correlated-electron phenomena and phases within a family of highly reproducible two-dimensional semiconductor materials, known as rhombohedral graphene multilayers. The key objectives are to establish this unique...
This Project Grant award of $555,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program supports research at the University of Chicago to develop efficient and scalable synthetic approaches for preparing atomically precise graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). The research team led by Professor Guangbin Dong aims to overcome long-standing challenges in GNR synthesis by devising novel monomer synthesis and cyclodehydrogenation strategies. The project seeks to produce well-defined, narrow zigzag GNRs with potential applications in high-speed, lightweight, flexible electronic and spintronic devices. The research will also integrate outreach activities to encourage diverse and underrepresented students to explore careers in science and engineering.
