Summary
Nontechnical Description: Modern technologies that drive the U.S. economy and national security—such as semiconductors, quantum computing, secure communications, biomedical devices, and clean energy systems—depend on the ability to manufacture structures at extremely small scales, yet today’s most powerful fabrication tools can only make flat, two-dimensional patterns, even though many next-generation devices require true three-dimensional structures at the nanoscale. This project will acquire a state-of-the-art 3D nanoprinting instrument for the University of California, Santa Barbara Nanofa
