Resources
UC Merced’s compact campus includes four shared user facilities:
Imaging and Microscopy Facility	Environmental Analytical Lab
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Lab	Stem Cell Instrumentation Foundry/Microfabrication Facility

Research groups campus-wide have access to the Pinnacles and MERCED High Performance Computing Clusters, including dedicated nodes in the dept.phys queue for the physics department.

In addition, some faculty have access to state-of-the-art instrumentation at Lawrence Livermore National Lab and the synchrotron facilities at Advanced Light Source and at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
