The Center for Materials for Information Technology (MINT) at The University of Alabama is a multidisciplinary research program that includes students and faculty from six different departments at UA and from the tri-campus Materials Science Program. MINT focuses on the discovery of advanced materials and new phenomena useful to information technology, especially information storage and retrieval. In recent years this research has emphasized nanometer scale structures and devices. MINT is sponsored by many of the world's leading information storage companies and is home to a Materials Research Science and Engineering Center supported by the National Science Foundation. MINT fosters a unique environment for multidisciplinary research and education that emphasizes shared facilities, collaborative research, and an educational environment that is simultaneously challenging and supportive. Professor William H. Butler is director of MINT. He may be reached at wbutler@mint.ua.edu.
