- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to the University of Rochester under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct a laboratory-based study of astrophysical plasma turbulence. The 3-year award supports a collaboration between the University of Rochester and the University of Oxford, known as the TDYNO (Turbulent Dynamo) project, which aims to recreate and model astrophysically relevant magnetized plasmas in the laboratory using...
This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics will enable a research project titled "Compressible Turbulence from Quantum to Classical" at Washington State University from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The research aims to establish a connection between quantum turbulence observed in table-top cold atom experiments and important applications in areas like nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, and classical turbulence. Specifically, the project will explore how macroscopic hydrodynamic theories used to model systems like neutron stars emerge from microscopic quantum physics, and whether these emergent theories retain unique quantum effects that could enable new applications. The research will develop new methods for detecting and characterizing quantum turbulence, which will then be used to advance nuclear physics such as the study of pulsar glitches. The project outcomes are expected to progress science in these areas and identify quantum features that can be leveraged for future societal benefit, similar to how previous cold atom research led to the development of precision clocks for GPS.
