The equipment will be used to enhance undergraduate STEM education and research across chemistry, geoscience, and physics courses, benefiting an estimated 400...
- This $1.1 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund the acquisition of a magnetic-field-free atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscope at the University of Illinois at Chicago from September 2022 through August 2025. The microscope's novel lens design provides a magnetic-field-free sample region allowing for atomic-resolution imaging and chemical analysis of quantum materials such as magnetic,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $466,187 to the University of Portland (UP) to acquire a spinning-disk confocal microscope. The microscope will enable enhanced cell and molecular biology research and undergraduate teaching and training at UP and Lewis & Clark College. The award supports research programs investigating biological mechanisms such as developmental asymmetry, cardiac development, and the...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provided $520,050 to California State University, Bakersfield to acquire a field emission scanning electron microscope. The microscope will enhance interdisciplinary research and teaching capabilities across multiple disciplines including geology, biology, environmental studies, engineering, physics, and agriculture. It will support ongoing externally funded research projects and enable new...
- This $199,998 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund Montana Technological University to acquire, maintain, and operate an Hitachi HT7800 electron microscope. The microscope will advance interdisciplinary research, education, and outreach in biology, chemistry, geochemistry, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, and geology. It will strengthen PhD programs in materials...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $2,705,396 to the University of Oregon to acquire a cold-field emission, aberration probe-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). This state-of-the-art equipment will advance materials research, enable next-generation electron optics, and provide training for graduate and undergraduate students. The STEM microscope will be integrated into the University of Oregon's Center for Advanced Materials Characterization, making it accessible to academic and industry users across the Pacific Northwest and accelerating research in areas such as materials science, quantum information sciences, and microelectronics. The award period is from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2028.
