Building sources of renewable energy, sophisticated new IT systems and other advanced technologies relies on breakthroughs in materials science.
ASU's efforts
Solar Powered Laboratory
The Solar Power Laboratory’s mission is to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of silicon solar cells. To achieve these goals the laboratory aims to establish and operate a pilot manufacturing line for silicon solar cells, exploit the pilot line to build bridges between ASU and the photovoltaic industry, test new ideas in an industrially relevant context, and prepare students for successful careers in the photovoltaic industry.
Construction Research and Education for Advanced Technology Environments
This initiative conducts research to provide innovative and practical ways to improve the delivery process of advanced technology facilities. It fosters collaboration between industry and academia and promotes an interdisciplinary approach to training students in construction research and technology transfer.

LeRoy Eyring Center for Solid State Science
This center provides a wide range of laboratory facilities for materials synthesis, processing and analysis. Its laboratories are used for graduate research, interdisciplinary education and undergraduate instruction in materials science. They are also used to provide a stimulating introductory view of contemporary materials research for Arizona elementary and secondary school students and other ASU visitors.
