The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $1,096,498 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to advance technologies for measuring the largest angular scale cosmic microwave background. The two-year award, which began on September 1, 2021, will support development and fabrication of enhanced silicone lenses to measure the cosmic microwave background. Additionally, the...
The National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop data acquisition and analysis procedures to exploit the scientific capabilities of the upgraded Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) prototype located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory. The project aims to measure astrophysical particle accelerators that are likely sources of neutrinos and gravitational waves, supporting...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $291,944 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York, operating as Stony Brook University. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will fund a collaborative research project focused on three key science objectives: 1) Imaging the "cosmic web" of intergalactic gas, 2) Searching for ancient stellar nova shells, and 3) Obtaining deep...
This $110,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship for Samantha Walker at Cornell University to validate and commission instrumentation for future millimeter-wave and X-ray astrophysics telescopes. The project will use scanning SQUID microscopy to directly image the magnetic response of key...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $1,945,592 from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029 to the University of Chicago to support measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with the South Pole Telescope's SPT-3G camera. The award will enable expanding the sky coverage of the unprecedented CMB temperature and polarization maps produced by SPT-3G, which play a central role in probing current...
The National Science Foundation awarded Cornell University a $446,175 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support research from June 2021 to May 2024 to exploit excitons in atomic monolayers for dielectric sensing. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems. This award will further those goals by advancing the use of...
