Minus K Technology Vibration Isolator
2025-2026 Educational Giveaway
to U.S. Colleges and Universities
Congratuations to the following winners of Minus K's 2025-2026 Educational Giveaway:
University of Texas at Dallas - Physics Department
The vibration isolator will be used for experiments identifying and assembling stacked two-dimensional heterostructures for quantum transport and scanning tunneling microscopy studies.
University of Pittsburgh - Physics and Astronomy Department
The vibration isolator will be used for experiments with their quantum twisting microscope inside an acoustical chamber.
Northwestern University - Electrical and Computer Engineering Department
The isolator will be used with a diamagnetically levitated optical cavity experiment to develop an ultra-high-Q mechanical oscillator without clamping losses.
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign - Physics Department
The isolator will used to support a Fully Motorized 2D Transfer System in an MBraun glovebox used to fabricate van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, by stacking atomically thin layers—such as Graphene, hBN, and TMDs—to create specific moiré superlattices.
Illinois Wesleyan University - Physics Department
The isolator will be for experiments with Spin noise measurements in GaAs quasi-1D semiconductor mesowires or measurements of thermal conduction of MX3 mesowires with a Michelson interferometer.
Northwestern University - Applied Physics Department
The isolator will assist in experiments by supporting a precision laser frequency stabilization setup based on the Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) locking technique.
