This $780,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports Professor Brandi Cossairt of the University of Washington in her research to discover new nanomaterials with unique properties. Specifically, the funding will enable Cossairt and her team to study how "magic-sized clusters" can be used to synthesize semiconductor nanocrystals with tailored characteristics. The research aims to develop generalizable strategies for nanocrystal synthesis, achieve precise atomic-level control of material properties, and bridge the knowledge gap between molecules and functional nanomaterials. In addition, the project will contribute to workforce development and education through student training, a regional nanoscience workshop, and creation of open-access learning materials. No sub-awards are planned under this award, which has a performance period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029.
