The Masic Lab at MIT focuses on the characterization of complex biomineralized and archaeological structural materials with the objective to inspire the design of sustainable and more durable building materials. To achieve these goals, we have developed unique advanced multiscale experimental approaches to characterize in-situ material properties, intricate structure-chemistry-function relationships, and the consequences associated with their interactions with the external environments.
