Project Grant 2506008
- 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 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...
- This $126,656 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research effort led by Professors Julie Biteen of the University of Michigan and David Masiello of the University of Washington. The goal is to develop a multifunctional, high-sensitivity instrument to measure plasmon-enhanced chirality and enable sensing of subtle, heterogeneous changes in chirality at the single-molecule...

- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $510,000 to Professor Daniel Crawford of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for research developing computational methods to model chiral molecules from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. Professor Crawford and his team will work to advance high-accuracy modeling of chiroptical properties by streamlining reduced-scaling coupled...
- 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 National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program has awarded a $579,422 project grant to Prof. Abraham Nitzan of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant supports research investigating the manifestations of molecular chirality in molecular transport phenomena. Specifically, the project aims to: (a) Establish the connection between the chirality of molecular equilibrium structures and their electronic and nuclear dynamics. (b) Develop mathematical measures of...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $692,351 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop and characterize new techniques using lasers to measure and control the quantum mechanical state of individual trapped and isolated molecules. The three-year grant, awarded on July 15, 2023, will support Professor David Leibrandt and his research group in constructing a new...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $497,664 in funding to Emory University to conduct collaborative research on molecular platforms for studies of parity non-conservation and novel bonding mechanisms. Professors Michael Heaven and Richard Mawhorter will lead this 3-year project to identify promising candidate molecules for probing physics beyond the Standard Model through high-resolution...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $582,707 to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop tools capable of identifying the exact structure, including chirality, of single trapped molecules. Professor David Patterson will lead the research to create a non-destructive, multi-step process that uses laser-cooled atoms, tailored microwave pulses, and inelastic recoil spectroscopy to measure the rotational, vibrational, isomer, and isotopomer states of single molecules. This work could have broad applications in biology and chemistry by improving the ability to study molecular chirality, which is critical for understanding molecular function. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028.
