The Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory (FSMRL) fosters interdisciplinary research at the forefront of materials science. The FSMRL brings together world-class faculty and students in condensed matter physics, materials chemistry, and materials science in a highly collaborative research environment.
The FSMRL is home to several large-scale, multi-investigator research programs:
These research activities are primarily supported by the Department of Energy/Office of Basic Energy Sciences Materials Sciences and Engineering Division (DOE/BES DMS), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the University of Illinois, other Federal agencies, and industry.
