The University of California, Berkeley received a $736,024 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) on June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2029. The award funds the development of an Atomic-Resolution Microwave Microscope (ARMM), a specialized scientific instrument designed to image fast-moving electrons in electrical devices at the atomic scale. The ARMM integrates multiple advanced microscopy technologies—scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, microwave impedance microscopy, and electron spin resonance detection—into a single probe tip system capable of operating at cryogenic temperatures in ultrahigh vacuum environments. The primary deliverable is the completed ARMM instrument, which addresses a critical gap in current microscopy capabilities by enabling researchers to visualize electron behavior at microwave frequencies while maintaining atomic-level spatial resolution. This capability is essential for developing more efficient electrical devices operating at high frequencies and for advancing quantum science applications. The instrument will enable local measurement of high-frequency complex permittivity and spin resonance behavior, providing unprecedented insights into material properties relevant to modern technological applications and next-generation device development.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
