This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $183,891, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program. The award supports a research project at the University of Chicago titled "CAREER: ELECTROMECHANICALLY PROBING QUANTUM MATERIALS IN CURVED SPACE". The goal of the project is to develop a new method for detecting the effects of spatial curvature on the properties of two-dimensional quantum materials. The research team plans to place these materials on top of nanoscale resonators and measure how the curvature alters the material's mechanical properties. This work aims to provide a general approach for controlling the properties of novel quantum materials based on their curvature. The project period runs from March 2025 to February 2030. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
