Materials Science and Engineering Class 1000 Cleanroom

Welcome to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering Class 1000 Cleanroom. Developed in cooperation with the Departments of Physics and Electrical Engineering the cleanroom environment facilitates a rich cross disciplinary work environment that has already generated an MRAM patent after only 8 months of operation.
