Materials Discovery and Synthesis Center (MDSC)

The Materials Discovery and Synthesis Center (MDSC) enables the creation of novel and unprecedented materials, with a focus on discovery of new compounds and microstructures at a rapid pace. The MDSC provides users with access to flexible materials synthesis tools that are able to fabricate nanomaterial, two-dimensional, thin film, and bulk specimen forms from a wide spectrum of metallic and ceramic systems. Computational materials expertise and common software packages on the quantum, atomistic, and mesoscopic scales are also available to facilitate user research with predictive materials theory and simulation.
