We are hosting the 16th
Discrete Simulation of Fluid Dynamics (DSFD 2007):
Micro, Nano and Multiscale Physics for
Emerging Technologies in Banff, Canada 2007 |
| Graduate student research fellowships available. |
Nanoscale Technology and Engineering Laboratory (NTEL)
is actively recruiting
graduate students from all science and engineering
disciplines to participate in our
interdisciplinary nanotechnology research. |
Interested students with backgrounds in Computer Science, Medicine,
Physics,
Chemistry, and all engineering disciplines are encouraged to
apply for research fellowships. |
| Equipment update: We have just received a new Fourier-transformed
Infrared Spectroscopy and Microscope from Thermo-Nicolet in our lab.
|
| Equipment update: Three big vibration isolation
tables from TMC have arrived and been installed in our lab.
|
| Equipment update: We will have an electron-beam
lithography system (EBL)/Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
from Carl Zeiss installed in our lab the end of March.
The resolution of the e-beam system is on the order of about 10-15 nm.
|
| Equipment update:A new Ellipsometer
will be installed in our lab soon.

- Movie for automatic multiple separation of
self-running drops in microchannels, published in
Applied Physics Letters (Mo and Kwok), 88, 064103 (2006). This automatic separation
was performed by means
of molecular self-assembly and pinching of three-phase contact line. Potential applications
include automatic liquid transport in Lab-on-a-chip devices.
We are also working on vibration effect of contact line problems.
