This $2.16 million National Science Foundation project grant funds the development of an agile free-electron-laser-powered pulsed electron magnetic resonance (FEL-EMR) spectrometer at the University of California, Santa Barbara from September 2021 through August 2024. The grant supports work under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, which aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding in these fields. Specifically, the University of California, Santa Barbara will leverage its expertise to develop a novel FEL-EMR spectrometer using a free-electron laser to enable pulsed electron magnetic resonance experiments with unprecedented agility, sensitivity and resolution. This technology is expected to provide new insights into complex chemical and biological systems at the molecular level.
