Materials of the Universe
The Navrotsky Eyring Center for Materials of the Universe leads ASU’s research on new materials, extreme conditions and the evolution of planets. Much of the center’s work relies on the equipment at FORCE.
This new national center will bring scientists from around the world to ASU to work with our faculty in aspects of materials science that are as yet entirely unexplored.
FORCE was funded by the National Science Foundation to establish a national high-pressure user facility at Arizona State University.
