Minnesota Nanofabrication
The club's lab in Keller Hall 5-194: a wood workbench strung with cabling, a probe station and microscope at the centre, and test instruments and a fume hood along the far wall.

Build the Fab

We are a team of engineering undergrad students at the UMNTC building a nanotechnology fabrication facility. Every machine below will be designed, assembled, tested, and integrated by our team.
