- This $480,000 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), supports research conducted by Matthew Sheldon and his team at the University of California, Irvine. The project aims to quantify the behavior of hot electrons and their role in surface chemistry, as well as explore resonant vibrational energy transfer, with the goal of advancing the scientific...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports Professor Miguel A. Garcia-Garibay of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA in exploring the control of chemical reactivity using light-activated crystalline solids. The $630,000 award, with a project period from July 2025 to June 2028, focuses on studying the motion and spin states of triplet excitons - light-excited electron states - to enable...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $599,999 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and the University of Pittsburgh. The 3-year collaborative project aims to investigate the detailed mechanisms and origins of selectivity in recently developed enzymatic reactions with unnatural electron transfer pathways. The research team, led by Professors Yang and Liu, will integrate computational tools...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $560,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). The grant, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will support a research project led by Prof. Thuc-Quyen Nguyen to develop a new class of sustainable carbon-based semiconductors called conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs). The project aims to enhance the fundamental understanding...
- This $550,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the role of non-covalent interactions in the excited state dynamics of heterocyclic compounds. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professor de Vries at the University of California, Santa Barbara will experimentally study how such compounds respond to ultraviolet radiation using gas phase spectroscopy. Computational chemists will model the results to compare quantum...
The U.S. National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program has awarded a $600,000 project grant to Professor Clifford P. Kubiak and his research group at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Department of Chemistry. The grant, with an award date of October 1, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2028, will support the group's research on understanding the effects of electric fields on electron transfer at interfaces. The goal is to control and utilize these effects to create switchable and tunable electron transfer and catalytic systems, with potential applications in semiconductor chip design and fabrication, as well as catalytic processes that could lead to reduced industrial and pharmaceutical chemical waste. The project incorporates elements of inorganic, materials, and physical chemistry, providing broad educational benefits for the scientists and trainees involved.
