In the Lilliputian world of nanofabrication, where billions of microscopic circuit elements are sculpted or imprinted on a fingernail-sized silicon chip
Imagine an MRI or CT technique that can peer inside structural materials (e.g., steels) and visualize the strain experienced by structures as they support loads
We develop first-principles-based methods for prediction of atomic arrangements and properties in advanced materials and develop tools for the prediction and

High cycle fatigue life of laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) parts depends on several factors; as-built surfaces, when present, are a particular concern. This
This in-situ indentation system can be integrated into electron microscopes as well as being run in other unusual setups. With a load capacity of 150 mN, this
The TA Instruments RPA elite rubber process analyzer (RPA) is a strain-controlled rotational shear rheometer for the characterization of polymers, composites
The Security Technologies Group has a 4-m-tall drop tower that can be configured for a wide variety of impact and impact-related testing. This drop tower is
