- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant to Yale University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant supports collaborative research through the Haloscope at Yale Sensitive to Cold (Dark Matter) (HAYSTAC) experiment, which aims to detect dark matter in the form of axion particles. The research seeks to advance scientific understanding of the dominant form of matter in the universe, which is believed to be dark...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,000 in funding to the University of Texas at Austin over 3 years, from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The award will support research to study the nature of dark matter, which accounts for 85% of all matter in the known universe. The research aims to better understand the microscopic properties of dark matter and its gravitational effects on...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $457,380 provides funding through July 2025 for the HAYSTAC Quantum Enhanced collaboration between the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Colorado. The award supports research seeking to discover the identity of dark matter through operation of one of the world's leading experiments searching for the hypothetical axion particle. UC Berkeley is responsible for research and development of tunable microwave cavities and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $540,000 to fund the research activities of Professors Hitoshi Murayama and Lawrence J. Hall at the University of California, Berkeley. The research aims to advance fundamental understanding of the laws of physics, with a focus on discoveries enabled by the Large Hadron Collider in Europe, underground experiments in South Dakota, and other global facilities....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $641,347 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on August 1, 2023. The grant will fund a 3-year research program to develop precision atomic physics methods for detecting hypothetical "beyond the Standard Model" particles and forces that could provide insight into dark matter and dark energy. Specifically, the award supports...
- The University of California, Merced received a $239,959 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program on August 1, 2025. The grant will support a research project titled "CAREER: An Order of Magnitude Improvement in Measurements of the Physical Properties of Dark Matter". The project uses gravitationally-lensed quasars to study the nature of dark matter, with the goal of measuring the positions and flux ratios for 200...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $398,629 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports collaborative research to systematically predict dynamical signatures of new dark matter physics in galaxies. The researchers will implement various dark matter models in simulations of galaxies like the Milky Way and smaller dwarfs, creating a set of...
- This $177,249 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project led by Messiah University. The project aims to advance experimental searches for ultralight bosonic fields, such as axions and hidden photons, that may constitute dark matter or arise in other physics beyond the Standard Model scenarios. The project involves two international experiments - the Global Network of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $320,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "HAYSTAC POST-INFLATION - THE CURRENT SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE, BASED ON ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS, INDICATES THAT THE TOTAL MASS CONSISTS OF ABOUT 5% ORDINARY MATTER. THE REMAINING MASS IS MADE UP OF WHAT WE CALL INVISIBLE MATTER, WHICH INCLUDES DARK MATTER AND DARK ENERGY." The project aims to detect dark matter in the form of axion particles using the HAYSTAC (Haloscope at Yale Sensitive to Cold Dark Matter) experiment. The research, which will be conducted from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2027, seeks to advance scientific understanding of the dominant form of matter in our galaxy and the universe.
