Physics microfabrication lab fuels research and discovery across OSU disciplines

The Department of Physics at Oklahoma State University recently added new equipment to its Cowboy Microfabrication Corral, which provides industry-grade tools and resources for faculty and students across OSU campus. Formally known as the Crystal Growth Lab — which had been around for decades — the Cowboy Microfabrication Corral needed a rebrand after receiving an “influx of new equipment that was not specific to crystal growth,” said OSU physics assistant professor Derrick Meyers. “The CMC is run by the physics department but is set up as a user facility for anyone to be able to utilize.”
