Laboratory of Solid State Microstructure (LSSMS) is located in Nanjing University, China. It is a laboratory mainly associated with the Department of Physics at Nanjing University.

The Laboratory has accomplished many achievements and enjoys international fame.^{[citation needed]} Nature magazine listed it as one of the two best research groups approaching/with world-class standards in Asia apart from Japan.^{[citation needed]} The Institute for Scientific Information listed it as the No. 1 laboratory in China as published in Science magazine.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] History

• In 1984, Nanjing University Institute of Solid State Physics was changed to State Key Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures of Nanjing University.
• In October 2004, Nanjing University received endowment of RMB 50 million from Cyrus Tang Foundation to establish National Microstructures Laboratory which will based upon LSSMS.
• In April 2005, the foundation of National Microstructures Laboratory Building - Cyrus Tang Building was laid.
