NC State hosts Triangle Soft Matter Workshop
The 10th anniversary of the Triangle Soft Matter (TSM) Workshop was held on May 14, 2018, at the Dorothy & Roy Park Alumni Center on NC State University’s Centennial Campus. Since its inception, the TSM has rotated each year among the campuses of NC State, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. This year, the honor was bestowed to NC State to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the TSM Workshop, which is now recognized as a testimony to the role of the Triangle universities in the soft matter research in the U.S. and the world.
