Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Two researchers examining technology

The Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research (IMR) is the gateway to Ohio State's materials-allied research enterprise.

IMR supports a community of multidisciplinary researchers, capabilities, focus groups and centers that eliminate traditional discipline-driven boundaries at the research level. IMR provides seed funding, infrastructure support and development, management of major research facilities, faculty recruitment, promotion of industry partnerships, educational and outreach programs and strategic leadership.

Battery Center completes first equipment installation with advanced coating system

The Battery Cell R&D Center at The Ohio State University recently installed its first major tool for advancing next-generation battery technology for electrified mobility: a high-precision coating system that bridges the gap between fundamental research and pilot-scale production of advanced battery cells. The Click&Coat system will play a crucial role at the center by enabling the precise, uniform application of battery materials.

Workers set up a coating machine for battery cell production at Ohio State's Battery Center.
