The grant, awarded on September 1, 2025, with a completion date of August 31, 2028, will support the development of a new class of hypervalent phosphorus(V) porphyrin (PPOR) and antimony(V) porphyrin (SBPOR) photosensitizers. The research aims to explore...
- This Project Grant award, supported by the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) of the National Science Foundation (NSF), provides $570,000.00 to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop innovative chemical strategies for the precise placement and structural control of organic color centers on single-walled carbon nanotubes. The project will create a DNA-programmed photochemical platform to deterministically synthesize these organic color centers, which can emit...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $536,121 Project Grant to Bowling Green State University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The funding supports Professor Liangfeng Sun and his research group in developing nanosheets that can emit highly controlled light in the near-infrared range, which is useful for quantum communication through fiber-optic networks. The key objectives include investigating amplified spontaneous emission, exciton...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $350,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support collaborative research by professors Biwu Ma and Bin Ouyang of Florida State University, and professor Lin X. Chen of Northwestern University. The project aims to investigate how light-induced structural changes in organic metal halide hybrid materials affect their optical and electronic properties. The researchers will use a combination of material...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $100,689.00 and awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at North Carolina State University (NC State) to develop a scientific foundation and interdisciplinary educational platform for harnessing the self-assembly of renewable nanoparticles on solid surfaces. The goal is to enable the controlled design of advanced sustainable materials and bio-inspired...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $780,000 in funding from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029 to the University of Washington to conduct research on semiconductor nanocrystals. The project, led by Professor Brandi Cossairt, aims to develop new strategies for precisely controlling the atomic-level properties of nanocrystals by studying how they form from "magic-sized clusters" - special starting...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $436,721 project grant to Washington State University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support research into persistent photoconductivity in titanate semiconductor crystals from June 2021 through May 2024. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through advancing knowledge and understanding of major problems in mathematical and physical...
This $515,820 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research project at Wayne State University to develop an understanding of how to control the photosensitivity of photoexcitable storage nanophosphors. The research aims to advance the design of photosensitive nanomaterials with potential applications in radiation dosimetry, quantum data storage, and anticounterfeiting. The project combines chemical and spectroscopic studies to establish design principles for these photosensitive materials, and also provides opportunities for workforce development and K-12 STEM outreach. The award period runs from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
