The awards will fund research and development of new products relating to cybersecurity, quantum computing, health care, semiconductor manufacturing and other
Devices that capture the brilliant light from millions of quantum dots, including chip-scale lasers and optical amplifiers, have made the transition from
Approach 1 Compact Blackbody Radiation Atomic Sensor (CoBRAS) The Compact Blackbody Radiation Atomic Sensor (CoBRAS) uses a thermal vapor of atoms excited by a single laser to detect BBR. From the optically excited state, atomic population is transferred to other, nearby excited states by a
One type of device that is emerging as an attractive artificial synapse is the resistive switch, or memristor. These devices, which usually consist of a thin layer of oxide between two electrodes, have conductivity that depends on their history of applied voltage, and thus have highly nonlinear
Today's electronics have reached a point where sheer computation power has combined form and function as the key driver of large consumer markets. The demand for portable and pervasive electronics with greater functionality promises significant changes over the next decades in how society interacts
This project focuses on manipulating nanomaterials, including weakly bonded van der Waals systems, and probing emergent phenomena in these nanoengineered systems to impact technologies such as nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, quantum sensing, and quantum computing. Developing processes to

We demonstrate chip-scale sub-Doppler spectroscopy in an integrated and fiber-coupled photonic-metasurface device. The device is a stack of three planar
MOSAIC is a modular single-molecule analysis toolbox to decode multi-state single-molecule and nanopore time-series data. Read the documentation for additional
The Oxford RIE PlasmaPro 80 etcher is a versatile parallel plate plasma etching system which uses ionized fluorocarbon and oxygen gases to etch Si, SiO2 and
The Semitool PSC-101 spin rinse dryer uses deionized water to rinse and heated nitrogen to dry whole wafer substrates automatically after wet chemical processes
The Reynolds Tech silicon etch wet bench uses dilute potassium hydroxide (KOH) to preferentially etch silicon along the material's crystal planes. The process
The Reynolds Tech silicon nitride etch wet bench uses dilute phosphoric acid to preferentially etch silicon nitride on silicon. The process is used to define
