Unconventional Patterning at the Nanoscale
Submitted on 23-FEB-07
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...
