MEM-C Shared Facilities (MSF)

VISIT CENTER

Purpose

MEM-C Shared Facilities (MSF) is part of the NSF Materials Research Facilities Network (www.mrfn.org). The primary goal of the MSF is to maximize the use of advanced characterization facilities within the greater materials science research community.

The University of Washington’s Molecular Engineering Materials Center (UW MEM-C) is a NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) supported under award DMR-2308979. The MSF is further supported by both UW CAS and UW CoE.
