Technology empowers you to discover new possibilities. Change reality. Turn big, bold ideas into life-changing innovations.
The University of Missouri ensures students have access to the power of technology. From robots and drones to virtual reality and simulation labs, Mizzou is home to the latest gadgets, devices and systems that are transforming the world. This next-generation equipment lets students learn by doing — a process we call the Missouri Method.
Ready to geek out? Here are some of the techiest tools on campus.
Archaeometry Laboratory
The Archaeometry Lab at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) allows students to study ancient artifacts and materials, working alongside faculty members to advance archaeological research. Students assist with sample preparation, instrument operation, fieldwork and data analysis. Additionally, you can gain experience in geochemical techniques such as neutron activation analysis, X-ray fluorescence, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy
Location: MURR and Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center
Available to: Students taking the Fundamentals of Archaeology Lab and those working with researchers in anthropology, archeology, art history and geological sciences
