This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to characterize recovered material from experiments that synthesized quasicrystals under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The research aims to provide a fundamental understanding of how and when quasicrystals nucleate and grow during these transient shock events, which could lead to discoveries of novel quasicrystal-forming alloys...
This Project Grant award of $486,694.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a series of experiments by a research group at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to study the dynamics of one-dimensional (1D) quantum gas systems confined in optical lattices. The key objectives are to expand the theoretical understanding of many-body quantum systems, especially their out-of-equilibrium behavior, which has implications...
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science is providing a $600,000 Project Grant under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to characterize magnetic field compression and magnetization effects in cylindrically imploded plasmas. The key objectives are to investigate the steep temperature gradients and strong magnetic pressure obtained in magnetized implosions, which can lead to extended-MHD effects that impact the...
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 federal Project Grant award of $550,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) supports fundamental scientific research at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to advance national energy, economic, and security priorities through transformative scientific discoveries. The research focuses on the "Cosmic Frontier" and will be conducted from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. The award includes two sub-grants....
This $360,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on the quantum dynamics of near-one-dimensional systems at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State). The PI will develop theoretical tools to quantitatively model and analyze experiments on ultracold atomic gases confined to one dimension, with a focus on understanding the far-from-equilibrium dynamics and emergent hydrodynamic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $183,448 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California, Berkeley. This 3-year grant funds the development of open-source cyberinfrastructure for publishing and reusing un- or minimally compressed scientific measurement data across physics domains. The project aims to enable high-quality scientific analyses to continue well beyond...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $736,406 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study quantum chromodynamics at the Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN. The research aims to advance understanding of how strong force bound states like protons are created and how their dynamics evolve. Key activities include: Measurements comparing hadron production from light...
This three-year, $395,000 National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research Project Grant supports theoretical and computational research aimed at rationally designing novel hydrogen-rich superconductors. The principal investigator will use quantum mechanical calculations and first-principles modeling techniques to computationally predict crystal structures of hydrides that could be synthesized under pressure and study their electronic properties and superconducting potential. A focus...
This $1.5 million project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering, under the CFDA 47.079 program, will fund research into underground hydrogen storage solutions. Over four tasks, the University of California, Berkeley will investigate the scientific, economic, and social implications of geologic hydrogen storage to enable a transition to renewable energy sources. Specifically, the university will conduct experiments to understand chemical and...
