Undergraduate students will gain research...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $550,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) for a 3-year project. The objective is to establish light-activated reactions that form transition metal hydride complexes, which are critical for producing fuels and commodity chemicals. The research activities will study the electronic structure and photochemistry of...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $484,969 to Amherst College to study the interactions between nanoparticles and catalysts for the photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide. The research, led by Professor Jacob Olshansky, aims to develop efficient hybrid photocatalysts using earth-abundant materials. The project will leverage the tunable light absorption properties of colloidal quantum dots...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,373 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Illinois at Chicago, William & Mary, and Princeton University. The 2-year grant supports collaborative research to resolve the longstanding mystery of quantum dot blinking - the random on-off behavior of these nanoscale semiconductor particles that limits their practical application. The research team, with expertise in chemical...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $182,922 Project Grant through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Professor Agatemor and students at the University of Miami. The grant supports the development and investigation of photoluminescent, biocompatible, and eco-friendly deep eutectic solvents. This research aims to address limitations of current photoluminescent materials, which are often toxic and lose luminescence in aqueous environments, by creating...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $250,000 Project Grant to a collaborative research effort between Professor Pavel Anzenbacher of Bowling Green State University and Professor Mark A. Olson of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The grant, funded through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to develop new molecular receptors that can recognize and bind biologically and pharmacologically relevant...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $575,000 Project Grant to the University of Southern California (USC) under the CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences program. The grant supports an investigation by Professor Andrey Vilesov into the structure of carbocations and molecular ionic clusters isolated in helium droplets at ultra-low temperatures. The research aims to provide insights into the structures of important carbocation species and radical-cation...
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $192,380 Project Grant to Muhlenberg College under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant will support Professor Duchimaza Heredia and students in using computational methods to investigate the reason for the multicolor fluorescence of carbon dots, which have applications in drug delivery, biosensing, and imaging. The project aims to determine whether fluorescence is solely due to the carbon dot structure, identify the underlying electronic mechanisms, and develop enhanced sampling methods to predict the structure of amorphous carbon dots. It will also establish partnerships with computational chemists in the Boston area to provide research experiences for undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds and engage high school teachers and students in learning how computers are used in chemistry research.
