Summary The University of Delaware received a $300,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded July 15, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2029. The project expands the Atom Portal, a free public online platform, into a comprehensive scientific data resource for atomic and molecular information. Key deliverables include expanded coverage of atoms and molecules relevant to quantum technologies, automated software that extracts trustworthy numerical data from scientific literature, and a conversational artificial intelligence interface enabling users to pose detailed scientific questions in plain language and receive properly referenced answers. The platform addresses a critical gap in scientific infrastructure by consolidating atomic and molecular data currently scattered across thousands of scientific articles and aging databases. By reducing researcher time spent searching for and verifying information, the Atom Portal accelerates discovery in academic laboratories and supports the quantum technology industry. The project incorporates educational components, providing students with training at the intersection of physics, computer engineering, and artificial intelligence, while developing open-source software building blocks that other research projects can adopt. The platform serves multiple scientific communities including those focused on quantum technologies, ultracold-atom physics, precision measurements, astrophysics, and plasma modeling.
