The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $539,890 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Oregon. The grant will fund the acquisition of a cryogen-free Physical Properties Measurement System (PPMS) to enable next-generation energy and quantum materials research and education. The advanced PPMS tool will allow investigations of thermal, electrical, and magnetic material properties at low temperatures without the need for helium, facilitating research on emerging materials for applications such as solid-state batteries, superconducting qubits, and semiconductor devices. The PPMS instrument will also enable new research on natural minerals influencing volcanic activity. This award will strengthen the university's research and education capabilities, provide training opportunities for new degree programs, and foster industry partnerships and student internships in materials science and technology.
