Shared Facilities

2-D Crystal Consortium - an NSF Materials Innovation Platform

Materials Innovation Platform

The 2DCC-MIP is focused on advancing the synthesis of 2D materials within the context of a national user facility. The MRSEC's scientific advances, especially in IRG1 on 2D polar metals, can be carried at scale to the wider research community through sample provision via the 2DCC's user program.

Nanofabrication Lab

Nanofabrication Lab

Our staff scientists and engineers will enable users to transition fundamental research in nanomaterials to innovation-driven multicomponent integrated devices and systems devices.The MRSEC partners with the Nanofab in a manner similar to that with the MCL.
