Eyring Materials Center Information

Arizona State University's Eyring Materials Center was established in 1974 to provide researchers with open access to sophisticated techniques for materials characterization and high-resolution electron microscopy. The Center supports materials analysis across a broad range of scientific disciplines, including physics; chemistry; biological sciences; earth/space sciences; and engineering. EMC has a four-decade legacy of training researchers on our electron microscopes and other analytical tools. Today, material scientists who trained at ASU are now running analytical, characterization and imaging laboratories in academia, government and industry around the world. In 1988 EMC expanded ASU’s mission to engage in education, open research and public service by providing industrial users with access to our instruments using a service-centre model. Over the past 27 years, we have actively supported materials characterization and imaging requirements of corporate R&D in microelectronics, aerospace, medical electronics, energy, personal care, automotive, life sciences and other industries. EMC is also committed to STEM-based educational outreach. ASU Science is Fun reaches thousands of K-12 students each year with programs designed to stimulate interest in science. emc@asu.edu
