The National Science Foundation's Division of Physics awarded Johns Hopkins University $259,434 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on May 1, 2026, to conduct fundamental research on dark matter detection through a CAREER grant. The award funds the development of a precision experimental platform utilizing solid-state electron and nuclear spin ensembles and magnetic sensing technology to search for axions and axion-like particles in the nano-electronvolt to pico-electronvolt mass range. The research builds upon the established Search for Halo Axions with Ferromagnetic Toroids (SHAFT) experimental platform, which achieves magnetic field sensitivity of 150 aTesla per square root hertz across a 10 kilohertz to 1 megahertz range—representing the most sensitive broadband magnetometer measurement capability currently available. Primary measurements will be conducted using SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) sensors and related apparatus. In addition to core research deliverables, the award includes an integrated educational outreach component designed to build non-standard problem-solving skills among young students and the general public. Johns Hopkins will partner with Boston University's GROW program and MIT's BLOSSOMS program to develop novel online educational content connecting dark matter research and cosmological studies, with particular focus on engaging Boston-area schools serving large populations of underrepresented students. The project performance period extends through July 31, 2027, and will be conducted at Johns Hopkins University's Baltimore, Maryland campus.Federal Grant Award Summary
