2020 Triangle Hard Matter Workshop

December 7-8

More than 300 attended the inaugural Triangle Hard Matter Workshop, hosted virtually by the Duke Materials Initiative.

The program had three tracks:

  • Energy Materials
  • Metamaterials
  • Quantum Materials

“Collaboration really is a core strength of DMI and Duke. And, the Triangle Hard Matter Workshop is another example of that strength."
