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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry award provides $760,000 over 4 years to support an interdisciplinary research project led by Professors Colin Nuckolls and Xavier Roy of Columbia University. The project aims to explore the development of a new class of macromolecular materials that combine electronic and chiral properties, with the goal of understanding how chirality can be used to control spin-selective electron transport. This research will integrate advanced...
This $696,868 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to Princeton University. The award supports the research of Professor Joseph Subotnik to develop new computational methods for modeling the flow of energy between electrons, nuclei, and spin in molecular and material systems. The goal is to achieve a complete microscopic description of energy transfer...
This $140,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports Professor Sarah B. King of the University of Chicago in investigating how molecular chirality influences spin-selective charge and energy transport at material interfaces. The research aims to advance understanding of chiral spin-interface dynamics and offer new principles for designing materials that manipulate spin-selective processes for quantum...
This $650,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry supports the research of Dr. Raphael Florentino Ribeiro of Emory University. The award, effective December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2028, aims to develop new theoretical approaches and computational methods for investigating chemical phenomena in microenvironments that confine light and interact strongly with matter. The research will computationally explore strategies to achieve...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award in the amount of $199,927 will support research on chiral homology, which is a topic related to the study of symmetries and their connections to theoretical physics and geometry. The project, led by the University of Texas at Austin, aims to describe how chiral homology behaves under surface deformations, provide a geometric realization of chiral homology, and extend this concept to...
This Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The $620,000 award supports a research project led by Professors Franz Geiger and Regan Thomson of Northwestern University to investigate the role of chirality, or "handedness", in the atmospheric chemistry of plant-derived terpene compounds and their influence on cloud formation processes. The research aims to advance...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund research to investigate the torsional piezoelectric properties of chiral solids made from biological molecules. The $299,963 award to the University of Nebraska will study how the chirality of molecules can generate voltage in response to twisting and twisting motion in response to an applied voltage. This two-year project will fabricate both amorphous and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program award provides $131,592.00 to The University of Akron to conduct experimental research and education aimed at understanding how chirality, or handedness, is maintained and amplified during the formation of superstructures by charged macromolecules. The project will explore the nanoscale intermolecular interactions, especially long-range electrostatic forces, that drive chiral recognition and chiral selection phenomena in...
