The equipment will recapture and reliquefy the helium released from three nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers in Brown University's Structural Biology Core Facility. Recycling the approximately 2,200 liters of liquid helium used per year...
- This Project Grant award for $280,987 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) to Stony Brook University. The funds are supporting the acquisition of a helium recovery system to capture and reliquefy helium from five nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers at the university. This equipment will address challenges posed by global helium supply instability, ensuring continued operation of the critical NMR...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $287,576 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to acquire a helium recovery system for its magnetic resonance research facilities. The award will enable UCSB to mitigate the impacts of the global helium supply crisis on their state-of-the-art materials characterization capabilities, which support over 50 research groups across disciplines like chemistry, physics, materials science,...
- This $320,810 National Science Foundation project grant supports the acquisition of a helium recovery and liquefaction system by Indiana University Bloomington. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the system will capture helium gas evaporating from eight nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers in the university's NMR facility. By recycling this helium into liquid form for reuse, the facility expects to substantially reduce its annual purchases of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $545,484 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to acquire a new campus-wide helium liquefaction plant. This award, funded under NSF's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), will enable the university to replace its aging and unsupported helium liquefaction system. The new system will provide reliable...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $500,408 Project Grant to Oregon State University (OSU) to acquire and install an integrated helium capture and recovery system for the university's Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facility. This system will enable the recycling of at least 90% of the over 1,000 liters of liquid helium used annually by the facility's five NMR spectrometers, including Oregon's two highest field NMR instruments. The project...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $431,976 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to acquire helium recovery equipment for quantum materials research and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) facilities. The equipment establishes a helium recycling system to recapture and recondense exhaust helium gas, ensuring the continuation of critical low-temperature research in physics, chemistry, and engineering at...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), awarded the University of Connecticut (UConn) a $798,945 Project Grant to acquire a 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. This instrument will expand and secure UConn's solution NMR spectroscopy capabilities to support research in areas such as nanomaterials characterization, organic/inorganic chemistry, and biological sciences. The award also includes funding for a helium recovery...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), awarded a $271,925 Project Grant to Montana State University (MSU) to acquire a helium recovery system for their NMR core facility. This system will reduce MSU's consumption of liquid helium, which is required to operate the state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers. The helium recovery system will lower the facility's operational costs and carbon footprint, making the NMR core's activities more sustainable...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded $415,580 to the University of Florida (UF) to install a helium liquefaction system in the Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy (AMRIS) facility. This equipment grant will improve the ability to preserve helium, a critical and limited resource, and ensure a reliable supply of liquid helium to support the operation of superconducting magnets used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in vivo spectroscopy (MRS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) research at AMRIS. The new liquefaction system will benefit the research programs of approximately 400 annual users at AMRIS, particularly scientists in the areas of developmental biology, physiology, chemical biology, biomaterials characterization, gas separations, and structural biochemistry. The grant will also support the training of students and postdoctoral researchers in critical instrumentation science areas, helping to maintain and enhance the nation's competitive edge in science and technology.
