Over 20 scientists from the NSF-funded Princeton Center for Complex Materials (PCCM) collaborate with New Jersey’s Liberty Science Center on the traveling exhibit Strange Matter, developed by the Materials Research Society to bring materials science to the curious minds of young children and their families.

 

In drawing among the biggest crowds ever seen at the LSC, PCCM students and faculty have inspired tens of thousands of people to think about materials science, teaching children and their parents the secrets of polymers, magnets and foams through hands-on-demonstrations and Q&A sessions.
