Just as integrated electronic circuits continue to pack on more and ever tinier components, so magnetic technologies for data storage and other applications
To advance the development of miniaturized systems, there is a need to place nanostructured materials in very precise locations. Only then can practical
Because of the complexity of microbial communities, we are working to develop measurements that will enable more reproducible design and control over of such
Technologies to manipulate biological systems have far outpaced our ability to design the function of those systems in a predictable way. This is, in part, a
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are integrated devices with critical applications in sensing, timing, signal processing, and biomedical diagnostics, and
Our goal is to develop and promote the adoption of small-volume rheological methods for complex fluids including bio-fluids, suspensions and polymers, where
The natural world is a magnificent place with observable, via measurement and inference, physical structures spanning at least 43 orders of magnitude in space
We develop methods and facilities for measuring magnetization dynamics in magnetic nanostructures with a particular emphasis on the emerging needs of future
One challenge of nanomanufacturing is to establish methods to assemble solution-based nanoparticles into organized structures with nanometer precision, with an
Single-particle tracking is a powerful tool for probing the transport behavior and local environmental properties of individual nanoparticles in liquid
The behavior and properties of macroscale objects are stable and predictable because they are the result of the average behavior of very large numbers of atoms
The transport of particles through a region of space acquires an imprint of local information that enables sensing, such as detecting the presence of a
