$450k NSF grant to help advance Mines thermal field-flow fractionation research

Williams

GOLDEN, Colo., Nov. 2, 2015 – Professor of Chemistry and Geochemistry Kim Williams has been awarded $450,000 by the National Science Foundation to develop thermal field-flow fractionation as a versatile technique for separating and characterizing complex nanoscale materials. As part of this research, insights will be gained into the 160-year-old enigma of why materials move along a temperature gradient in liquids.
