Yale University was awarded a $1,050,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research probing the origins of intrinsic chiroptical response and the roles of extrinsic perturbations. The research will combine experimental measurements and theoretical analyses to study how atomic motions and surrounding solvent affect the chiroptical properties of molecules. Discoveries could have...
The National Science Foundation awarded a 4-year, $575,000 Project Grant to Professor Babak Borhan at Michigan State University (MSU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The project focuses on developing new methodologies to rapidly identify the chirality (three-dimensional shape) of organic molecules, which is critical for understanding their physical and biological characteristics. Key objectives include designing and synthesizing supramolecular sensor...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $420,000 Project Grant to the University of Utah from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The funding supports the development of a novel optical biosensor capable of detecting and quantifying a wide range of biological molecules, including biomarkers found in bodily fluids. The project leverages second harmonic generation (SHG) and optical heterodyning techniques...
