The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research awarded The Washington University a $548,927 CAREER grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) beginning April 1, 2026 and concluding March 31, 2031. The grant supports integrated research and education efforts focused on engineering bichromatic moiré superlattices through controlled stacking of atomically thin two-dimensional layers. The research deliverables center on developing programmable quantum materials that exploit interference between multiple periodic length scales to enable tunable quantum interactions and collective quantum states. The project investigates how engineered superlattices with independently controlled orientations and compositions can access dynamic phase transitions and correlated states not occurring in natural materials, thereby advancing fundamental understanding of quantum matter at the nanoscale. In addition to core research activities, the project incorporates substantial educational and workforce development components designed to translate quantum materials concepts into accessible learning experiences. Deliverables include an industry-facing undergraduate experimental course and K-12 outreach programming featuring interactive demonstrations and classroom-ready educational kits focused on layered materials and moiré physics. These educational activities are specifically designed to broaden participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, strengthen career pathways for students from diverse backgrounds, and support national priorities in education, workforce development, and innovation.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
