This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award of $384,660 to Lake Superior State University will support the acquisition of a micro X-ray fluorescence (?XRF) spectrometer with remote operation capabilities. The ?XRF instrument will enable high-resolution imaging and elemental analysis to benefit a consortium of 14 researchers across eight institutions and their collaborators. The ?XRF will facilitate external research, education, and industrial...

This $450,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to investigate the elastic properties of fluids confined in nanoporous materials and their impact on wave propagation. The project aims to develop a molecular theory to quantify the effects of fluid confinement on elastic properties like compressibility, and apply this to improve models of wave propagation in...

This $299,973 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop pore-engineered membranes using an in situ atomic layer deposition process for improved chemical separations. The key research objectives are to eliminate molecular-scale membrane defects, precisely tune membrane pore sizes, and introduce facilitating interactions between metal oxides and diffusing gases to maximize gas selectivity and permeance. The...
