Triangle MRSEC REU Program
MRSEC center:
Duke University The Triangle MRSEC is a collaborative center involving Duke University, North Carolina State University, North Carolina Central University and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We are studying programmed assembly of soft matter, inventing materials that have never before existed and creating ways to use those materials.
Join us this summer and be a part of our research.
Learn more and apply before March 1, 2012.
