The PARADIM Bulk Crystal Growth Facility makes the materials of tomorrow with the help of some very specialized, very hot furnaces. "The paradigm here is not just 'you send us a sample and we send you a crystal.' There is knowledge gained from working with us. You are learning the process and becoming a better scientist as a result of it," says doctoral candidate Lucas Pressley, who works in the lab.
