The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of California, San Diego $645,695 on September 1, 2026, to acquire a microfocused dual-source X-ray diffraction system under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The X-ray diffractometer features both copper and molybdenum sources to enable three-dimensional structural measurement of molecular compounds and solid-state materials across synthetic organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry, catalysis, advanced materials synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and structural biology. The copper source addresses samples rich in light atoms such as hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen that form small or weakly diffracting crystals or require absolute configuration assignment. The molybdenum source supports structure determinations of metal-rich inorganic and metal-organic samples. The instrument will be housed in the UCSD X-Ray Crystallography Facility in La Jolla, California, which serves as the primary structural-analysis laboratory for both UCSD and the Scripps Research Institute and provides data-collection and structure-solution services to regional institutions including the University of San Diego, Point Loma Nazarene University, and San Diego State University. The facility supports undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral education and hands-on laboratory experience in X-ray crystallography, broadening access to modern crystallographic instrumentation for researchers who lack ready access to standard and synchrotron X-ray sources. Performance of the award extends through August 31, 2029.
