The MRSEC Facilities Network is a nationwide partnership of NSF supported MRSEC centers designed to provide support to researchers in the broad area of Materials Research in academic, government and industrial laboratories around the world.

Started in 1994, the Princeton Center for Complex Materials (PCCM) is an NSF-funded Materials Science and Research Center (MRSEC) at Princeton University dedicated to pushing the frontiers of complexity in materials science. PCCM brings together over thirty faculty from six departments in the natural sciences and engineering, and is centered in Bowen Hall at the eastern entrance to campus. PCCM currently has three Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs) and several seed projects:

IRG 1:	Interplay Of Magnetism And Transport In Correlated Electronic Materials
IRG 2:	Guided Self-Assembly
IRG 3:	Adhesion, Deformation And Transport At Contacts In Small Structures
Seed Projects

In addition to forefront materials research, the center sponsors an active educational outreach program involving elementary, middle and high schools, as well as a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and a Research Experience for Teachers (RET) programs. Industrial collaboration is also an important aspect of PCCM research. More information on our outreach and collaborative programs may be accessed through the buttons at left.
