- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $700,000 Project Grant to Yale University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support the HAYSTAC Axion Dark Matter Experiment - Phase III. This effort aims to detect the theorized axion particle, which could comprise the unobserved "dark matter" that accounts for the majority of the mass in the universe. Key activities include upgrading the HAYSTAC detector system to expand its...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $449,485 to the University of Virginia from October 2022 through September 2025. The funding supports collaborative research between teams in Virginia and New Mexico to investigate the nature and origin of massive young stars through a combined theoretical and observational approach. Over 100 very young, massive stars will be observed with radio telescopes to develop a...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded The Johns Hopkins University $259,434 on May 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop a precision laboratory experimental platform based on solid-state electron and nuclear spin ensembles and magnetic sensing for the search for axions and axion-like dark matter particles in the nano-electronvolt to pico-electronvolt mass range. The platform leverages the established Search for Halo Axions...
- This $449,946 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support research at Stanford University and the University of Washington to develop a novel axion detector called a haloscope. The haloscope is expected to improve the scan rate of axion dark matter experiments by more than three orders of magnitude at frequencies between 4-7 GHz. Researchers will fabricate and test a full-sized science-grade cavity under cryogenic conditions in...
