Discoveries by physicists, chemists and engineers in the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center, funded by the National Science Foundation since 2002, have elevated UNL as a leader in nanomaterials research. The cover photo features a scanning probe microscope in the Thin Film Growth and Characterization Facility, a shared MRSEC laboratory for collaborative research on polarization and spin phenomena in nanoferroic structures. Using this microscope, researchers explore the atomistic origin of the physical properties of nano and hybrid structures. <a href=\"http:\/\/research.unl.edu\/annualreport\/2015\/research-driving-nanomaterials-huge-potential\/\">Read more about MRSEC<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a Big Ten research university driven by the spirit of innovation and exploration to tackle vexing challenges, apply knowledge-fueled solutions, move technologies from lab to marketplace, share the excitement of discovery with students and forge lasting partnerships across the globe.
