3 Description

 

No useful activities.  Some information that could be used in curriculum modules, especially lesson plans from Summer Teacher Program

 

The Columbia University Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) is an interdisciplinary team of university, industrial, and national laboratory scientists and engineers working together to develop and examine new types of nanocrystals and ways of assembling them into thin films. The MRSEC, initially established by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1998, was renewed by NSF in 2002 with a $7.2M grant covering 6 years. Faculty from six academic departments are involved with the MRSEC, along with faculty from the City College of New York (CCNY). The center, entitled Center for Nanostructured Materials, now focuses on the synthesis of complex metal oxide nanocrystals and ways of assembling them into useful films.
