In this award, funded by the Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms (CSDM-A) Program of the Division of Chemistry, Professor Richard Saykally of the University of California - Berkeley and his graduate research students are investigating structure and dynamics of small clusters of water as well as water clusters containing other atmospherically-abundant molecules (nitrogen, oxygen, and small hydrocarbons). Specifically, Prof. Saykally and his group will probe water clusters produced in the laboratory with modern THz light sources.The ultimate goal of the work by Professor Saykally and his group is to develop a better quantitative understanding of the complex interactions in water. Results of this work could have profound impacts in biology and environmental science. In addition, Prof. Saykally will help to train a new generation of scientists skilled in cutting-edge research. Prof. Saykally and his colleagues are also involved in scientific outreach, including the Math, Science and Engineering Resource Support (MASERS) program, which brings hands-on science activities and science professionals into middle schools in the San Francisco Bay area.

在这个由化学系化学结构、动力学和机制（CSDM-A）项目资助的奖项中，加州大学伯克利分校的Richard Saykally教授和他的研究生正在研究小簇水以及含有其他大气中丰富分子（氮、氧和小碳氢化合物）的水簇的结构和动力学。具体来说，Saykally教授和他的团队将用现代太赫兹光源探测实验室产生的水团。Saykally教授和他的团队工作的最终目标是更好地定量理解水中复杂的相互作用。这项工作的结果可能对生物学和环境科学产生深远的影响。此外，Saykally教授还将帮助培养新一代从事尖端研究的科学家。Saykally教授和他的同事还参与了科学推广，包括数学，科学和工程资源支持（MASERS）计划，该计划将动手科学活动和科学专业人员带入旧金山湾区的中学。
