The research will computationally explore strategies to achieve...
- This $537,483 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison supports the development of a new chemical measurement system capable of monitoring the time-varying charge on a single organometallic catalyst molecule. The goal is to provide unprecedented insight into catalyst mechanisms by revealing the shifting structure and charge dynamics of a single catalyst molecule, which could lead...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) a $472,456 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct precision spectroscopy research on single polyatomic molecules. The goal of this 3-year project is to develop techniques that can precisely measure the quantum mechanical properties of individual polyatomic molecules, rather than an ensemble average. This will enable future applications in...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Washington (UW) for the development of advanced computational methods to simulate and understand quantum phenomena driven by magnetic fields. The 3-year project, led by Dr. Xiaosong Li, aims to establish a rigorous first-principles framework for modeling time-resolved magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy. This will involve...
- This $373,344 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project led by Professors Julie Biteen of the University of Michigan and David Masiello of the University of Washington. The project aims to develop a multifunctional, high-sensitivity instrument to measure plasmon-enhanced chirality and enable the sensing of subtle, heterogeneous...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded the University of Wisconsin-Madison $650,000 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop methods for accurately and efficiently incorporating nuclear quantum effects into ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Principal Investigator Dr. Yang Yang and his research group will continue developing Constrained Nuclear-Electronic Orbital Density Functional Theory and its integration with molecular...
- This $449,999 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research led by Professor George Schatz of Northwestern University. The project is developing new theory and computational methods to characterize the interaction of classical and quantum light with molecules, with applications in photon-based quantum computing and secure communications technologies. Key...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program, awarded a $520,000 project grant to Professor John Wright at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The grant will fund the development of a new technology called Floquet State Spectroscopy, which will allow synthetic chemists to use lasers to discover the vibrational modes and electronic states that control their chemical reactions. The project aims to employ higher-order Floquet State Spectroscopy to investigate the potential energy surfaces of cobalamin and methyl-cobalamin, including their ligand stretch motions that are involved in photodissociation and enzymatic rate increases. The project will have a broad impact on the field of synthetic chemistry and modern technology by providing a deeper understanding of the fundamental quantum mechanical factors that control chemical reactions and enable the advancement of quantum information technologies.
