This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $306,675 to Doty Scientific Inc. to develop innovative low-loss bi-directional terahertz (THz) couplers. These couplers are critical components for enabling affordable high-field magic angle spinning dynamic nuclear polarization (MAS-DNP) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) systems, which are crucial for advancing structural biology and biomedical research, including the study of diseases like Alzheimer's. The project will optimize coupler designs through in silico modeling, manufacture prototype couplers using 3D printing and precision machining, and test the prototypes on an ultra-low-temperature DNP probe. This work aims to reduce the cost and improve the accessibility of high-field MAS-DNP NMR technology, which has been limited by the expense and technical constraints of existing gyrotron-based systems.
