The Bonizzoni and Street groups at UA received joint funding from the National Science Foundation on their proposal to use spontaneous heterogeneity in metal nanoparticle populations grown in the presence of various anionic analytes to qualitative detection of common organic pollutants via rapid and inexpensive electrochemical detection (NSF Award #2404135). This exploratory “high risk – high reward” proposal was funded by NSF for two years through the EAGER mechanism.
