Northwestern University received a $510,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on July 15, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2029. The research focuses on developing chemically functionalized van der Waals opto-spintronic quantum materials to advance next-generation technologies for information storage, processing, and communication. The project addresses critical limitations in two-dimensional magnetically ordered van der Waals semiconductors, including their operational constraints at low temperatures, chemical instability at ambient conditions, and lack of effective strategies for controlling impurities and chemical composition. The core deliverable involves leveraging the high surface-to-volume ratios and chemical properties of these materials to controllably modify their optical and magnetic properties, thereby enhancing their practical applicability. In addition to the primary research outputs, the grant includes education and outreach activities designed to broaden participation in science and higher education. Northwestern will disseminate research results through the ILLUMINATE program, which provides college attendance and completion support for students, and Science with Seniors, an initiative that delivers interactive science presentations and demonstrations to retirement communities. These dual research and educational components align with NSF's mission to strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise while addressing fundamental challenges in materials science research.
