This is an optical microscopy image of a collection of monodisperse quintuple emulsions formed using a sequential drop maker array fabricated in PDMS.
The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) is the focus of Harvard's long tradition of interdisciplinary materials research. The Harvard MRSEC is funded by the National Science Foundation, and identifies new research areas to train and retain students in materials science and engineering.
 
 

Research Highlights

New England Workshop on the Mechanics of Materials and Structures
NEW.Mech was a one-day workshop that brought together the New England Mechanics community with an interest in exploring new directions on the Mechanics of Soft Materials and Structures and in sharing the latest advances in the field.

Soft Lithography Fabrication
The MRSEC sponsored construction of a new clean-room facility specifically for soft lithography.

Softer-than-Skin Electronics, Sensors, and Adaptive Materials
Soft robotics, wearable computing, and mechanically adaptive structures will lead to revolutionary tools.

Crystals on Curved Surfaces
Studying the behavior of crystals on curved surfaces could help us control the structure of self-assembled materials.
