The National Science Foundation's Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $870,000 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The 3-year grant, starting on September 1, 2023 and ending on August 31, 2026, is funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop an advanced instrument combining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and optical fluorescence spectroscopy. This multi-modal system enables cutting-edge research and training in materials science, quantum information science, energy storage, and catalysis by allowing simultaneous manipulation and characterization of electronic and nuclear spins. The instrument facilitates dynamic nuclear polarization experiments to enhance the sensitivity of magnetic resonance studies on molecular systems, while also enabling the investigation of semiconductor heterostructures, light-harvesting complexes, and nanomaterials. Undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students are involved in the development and use of this advanced research tool, which will benefit a wide range of research groups, including those from a local undergraduate institution.
