This $578,955 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to create "metabolic" droplets where chemical activity alters and controls material properties. The principal investigator at The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York aims to couple enzymatic activity to phase separation in vitro, with the goal of animating equilibrium materials to capture life-like properties....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will provide $200,000 to the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology to investigate the behavior of molecules confined in small porous structures. The project aims to synthesize polymeric nanospheres containing gold nanoparticle templates, which will then be removed to create porous structures. By adjusting the geometry and distribution of these pores, the project will explore how the...
This Project Grant award of $420,887, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports the development of a multi-enzyme immobilization system in metal-organic materials for rapid and sustainable degradation of plant biomass. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing a "5-in-1/Ca-BDC biocatalyst" that simultaneously immobilizes five enzymes (three cellulases, a lipase, and a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $405,960 Project Grant to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to investigate enzymes from organisms living in deep sea environments. The research aims to understand how these enzymes, known as extracellular deoxyribonucleases (exDNases), have adapted to function under the extreme conditions of high pressure and temperature in the deep ocean biosphere. The work will combine...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. The award will fund research to characterize the nanoscale interactions between biomass-derived carboxylic acids and a platinum catalyst in aqueous reforming processes. This work aims to provide insights on how to design deactivation-resistant catalysts for converting biomass waste streams into renewable hydrogen...
This $220,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to advance the understanding of how soft, deformable particles, such as oil droplets and cells, move through complex environments consisting of narrow constrictions and obstacles. The award to Emory University will systematically investigate the flow of bubbles and droplets through obstacle arrays, studying the effects of particle surface tension, obstacle density, size, and...
