The Princeton Materials Institute is home to the Imaging and Analysis Center (IAC) and the Micro/Nanofabrication Center (MNFC), two large scale multi-user central research facilities at Princeton University. With help from PMI, Matt Sillick at Paragon Pure is creating a healthy and sustainable alternative fat for food production and Princeton NuEnergy has developed a scalable method for recycling lithium-ion batteries. Many companies, from Fortune 500 firms to small startups, have benefited from the expertise and cutting-edge equipment at the Princeton Materials Institute.
