The University of Minnesota Institute of Technology is renovating about 7,357 square feet of research space which is used in condensed matter and low temperature research. Contemporary experimental condensed matter and low temperature physics spans a wide range of topics from understanding the mechanism underlying high temperature superconductivity to investigating macroscopic quantum tunneling. Despite this breadth of physics questions, experimental investigations often share common structure. Most experiments involve preparation of materials, processing of these materials to achieve a set of desired properties, and characterization of the prepared and processed materials to seek understanding of the physical phenomena. The facility renovation project being undertaken will modernize the research space available in order to integrate the processes involved in condensed matter research. Finally, this renovation project will encourage researchers in and attract students into a strategic research area for the Nation, materials science.

明尼苏达大学理工学院正在翻新约7357平方英尺的研究空间，用于凝聚态物质和低温研究。当代实验凝聚态和低温物理学涵盖了从理解高温超导的机制到研究宏观量子隧道的广泛主题。尽管有如此广泛的物理问题，但实验研究往往具有共同的结构。大多数实验包括材料的制备，这些材料的加工以获得一系列所需的特性，以及对准备和加工的材料进行表征以寻求对物理现象的理解。正在进行的设施翻新项目将使现有的研究空间现代化，以便整合凝聚态研究所涉及的过程。最后，这个创新项目将鼓励研究人员，并吸引学生进入国家的战略研究领域，材料科学。
