  1. NSF Investment in High-Tech Instrumentation Benefits IndustryIndustrial researchers use excess capacity at Cornell To advance its research mission, the Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR) operates a wide range of shared instrumentation for materials processing, characterization and analysis — everything from microscopes that can image individual atoms to diamond saws that can cut the hardest materials. When not in use by academic researchers, the CCMR encourages use by outside users, both academic and industrial. Over the past 8 years, these facilities have attracted a rapidly growing number of industrial users. This fast growth can be attributed to a combination of strategic investments by the CCMR in advanced equipment, such as world-leading electron microscopes, and an aggressive marketing and education campaign funded by New York State. Although CCMR facilities attract researchers from large companies such as Corning and General Motors, a surprisingly high fraction come from regional companies and local startups. Industrial users are charged fees that fully offset the costs incurred in providing scientific equipment and technical expertise.
