Clemson University is acquiring a 500 MHz solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer with this $999,984 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program. The instrumentation will facilitate research in materials science and environmental chemistry, enabling projects focused on areas such as understanding molecular toxin absorption, designing advanced energy materials, and characterizing novel polymers. As part of the award, the principal investigator will develop graduate and undergraduate coursework on solid-state NMR to enhance educational opportunities in these disciplines. The spectrometer's cryogenic magnet design also reduces the institution's helium consumption, addressing global supply challenges. The grant period runs from August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, and no sub-awards are planned.
