OHIO STATE AWARDED PRESTIGIOUS MATERIALS RESEARCH CENTER
The National Science Foundation (NSF) announced on September 30 that Ohio State would receive funds over six years to establish a Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC). With this, the university joins a national network of 27 MRSECs that foster active collaboration between universities and industry.

The Ohio State MRSEC will be called the Center for Emergent Materials (CEM) . At the heart of the CEM are two Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs) which include many Physics faculty. Director Nitin Padture, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, will have an office in the Physics Research Building.
