Center for Advanced Materials Research / Micro- and Nanomechanics of Materials @ Brown University
The Center investigates the mechanics in thin films and bulk materials through a combination of experimental and computer modeling techniques. The Center has a broad spectrum of educational and outreach programs, including the very successful BrownOut program that brings hands on demonstrations to local K-12 science and math classes.
