New NSF Award – SHe-QUID w/ 2D Polymers
The NSF is now funding our collaborative effort to make a quantum sensor that uses 2D polymers as a nanoporous Josephson junction separating two reservoirs of superfluid helium. This device, a superfluid helium quantum interference device, or SHe-QUID, might enable precise measurement of changes in angular momentum, permit accurate detection in changes in gravity in... » read more
Our new (trial) file server
