Lighting the way
A new $13-million National Science Foundation center based at U-M will be developing high-tech materials that manipulate light in new ways. The Center for Photonic and Multiscale Nanomaterials involves U-M engineering and physics researchers, as well as collaborators at Purdue University and other institutions. Its research could enable advances such as invisibility cloaks, nanoscale lasers, high-efficiency lighting, and quantum computers.
