Northwestern MRSEC provides the physical and intellectual infrastructure to nucleate collaborative opportunities in materials research both on and off the Northwestern campus, and continues to leverage its diverse portfolio of research into new educational and commercial opportunities. Recent examples include:
Funded by Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Center was established in 2013 and serves as a new model of collaborative scientific research in the arts, providing expanded access to scientific expertise in a centralized and highly specialized facility devoted to the pursuit of art-historical and conservation questions of great value to conservation science and academic communities.
Funded by NIST, the Center was established in 2014 and is a key component of the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI). The center is an outgrowth of the ongoing partnerships between Northwestern, Argonne National Lab and University of Chicago, and has the main goal of developing the next generation of computational tools, databases and experimental techniques to enable the design of novel materials.
