The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $140,000 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Chicago. The grant supports a 5-year research project led by Professor Sarah B. King that is investigating how molecular chirality influences spin-selective charge and energy transport at material interfaces. The project aims to advance the fundamental understanding of chiral spin-interface dynamics, with potential applications for quantum information technologies. Key activities include the design and study of chiral molecular systems linked to materials like transition metal dichalcogenides and magnetic surfaces, using advanced time-resolved spectroscopy. The broader impacts of the research include public engagement through science communication initiatives and training young scientists in effective public communication of quantum science concepts.
