- This Project Grant award of $600,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research by Dr. Read de Alaniz of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop new photoresponsive molecular materials that change shape, color, and properties when exposed to visible light. The goal is to create water-compatible and stable "photoswitches" that can enable self-healing and actuation in solid materials,...
- Under a $470,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professors de Vries and Gordon at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) will develop a novel nanoscale sampling and chemical analysis technique. This "nanoscale-biopsy" approach will allow for high-resolution imaging and detailed chemical characterization of minuscule samples, addressing a critical need in areas such as chemical diagnostics,...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $280,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research combining single-molecule Raman and conductance spectroscopies. Led by Joshua Hihath, the team will develop a novel approach using their recently developed system for simultaneous single-molecule Raman spectroscopy and conductance measurements. This will allow them to quantitatively track the effects of...
- The National Science Foundation awarded Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute a $304,668 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to acquire and install a Photo-Induced Force Microscope. The microscope will enable researchers to conduct infrared absorption spectroscopy and chemical mapping of nanomaterials with spatial resolution as small as 5-10 nanometers. It will support projects in areas such as surface modification, nanoscale interfaces and structures, and...
- The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $426,000 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct collaborative research on developing novel protein-based materials for photosynthetic energy transduction. The multi-year project, led by Professors Michael Therien and David Beratan of Duke University and William DeGrado of UCSF, aims to design and construct protein-based...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $500,000 in funding to Stanford University from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The grant supports the development of a novel implementation of photo-induced force microscopy (PIFM) to directly observe how individual chemical bonds respond to light absorption at the atomic scale. Professors Andrew J. Mannix and Felipe Homrich da Jornada will use this advanced microscopy and quantum simulation tools to visualize structural changes in molecules and semiconductor materials when they absorb light, which is crucial for improving the efficiency of technologies such as digital cameras, solar cells, and quantum sensors. The project will also contribute to workforce development by training graduate and undergraduate students, creating instructional materials, and conducting public outreach.
