Contributed by Teri Odom, Meenakshi Viswanathan, Yelizaveta Babayan

The ability to generate nanoscale structures is central to modern science and technology. The experiments described in this site provide the first step towards bringing nanofabrication to undergraduate students using simple benchtop tools that are accessible and inexpensive. These experiments are currently taking place in the first quarter of a sophomore seminar (Chem 250-1) offered jointly by the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern Unive...

Science and Technology at the Nanoscale, CHEM 445 (Spring 2004)
Submitted on 30-JUN-06
Contributed by Teri Odom

This course is designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Students will have opportunities to learn why nanoscience is important and interesting, to be trained on advanced instrumentation (NSOM, STM, AFM, SEM), and to participate in some of the business aspects of these emerging nanotechnologies. ...

Nanoscale Patterning: Top-down meets Bottom-up, CHEMISTRY 250-1 & 250-2
Submitted on 30-JUN-06
Contributed by Teri Odom

CHEM 250-1 is an introduction to nanoscale science and technology with an emphasis on nanofabrication, chemical synthesis, and simple devices. The lab component involves training on scanning probe and electron microscopes and bench-top nanoscale patterning experiments. CHEM 250-2 is a continuation of Chem 250-1 and is research-based course with an emphasis on designing a research project in nanopatterning using skills acquired in Chem 250-1....
