Moore Foundation Partnerships
Experimental Physics Investigator (EPI) Initiative
This new initiative will fund innovative projects in experimental physics over the next 11 years. Together, APS Innovation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation will provide funding to creative, mid-career investigators applying unique problem-solving approaches within experimental physics, especially for high-risk, high-reward research.
The first cohort’s research will explore a broad range of open scientific questions that include, among other topics:
- Quantized vortex lines in superfluid liquid helium
- Optical properties of nanostructures in butterfly wings
- Infrasound signatures of tornados
- Correlated atoms and molecules trapped in large arrays formed by optical tweezers
