The Mechanics of Soft Materials Laboratory (MSML) at 200 Boston Avenue contains mechanical testing equipment used to characterize a wide variety of soft materials. The MSML is part of a suite of labs known as the Advanced Technologies Laboratories (ATL), and is home to collaborative research projects in the areas of Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil Engineering at Tufts University. Researchers in need of expertise in mechanical evaluation of soft materials are invited to contact the MSML.
