UCSB Receives NSF Grant for Advanced Nanoscale 3D Printing
In response to a proposal they submitted, a team of researchers at University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) recently secured a $1.15 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to purchase a 3D nanoprinting system. The equipment, which the team wrote will “open the door to new approaches to nano- and micro-manufacturing of complex structures and devices,” is able to print a polymer lens fewer than 50 micrometers wide onto the edge of a chip, and will be hou
