The Cornell NanoScale Science & Technology Facility (CNF) is a national user facility that supports a broad range of nanoscale science and technology projects by providing state-of-the-art resources coupled with expert staff support. 2012 marks our 35th year in operation. Research at CNF encompasses physical sciences, engineering, and life sciences, and has a strong inter-disciplinary emphasis. Over 800 users per year (50% of whom come from outside Cornell) use the fabrication, synthesis, computation, characterization, and integration resources of CNF to build structures, devices, and systems from atomic to complex length-scales.

description

  • The Cornell NanoScale Science & Technology Facility (CNF) has served the US research community for more than 25 years. Subjects of research encompass physical sciences, life sciences, and engineering, particularly with inter-disciplinary emphasis. During 2002, nearly 350 Cornell and 350 external users utilized the fabrication, synthesis, characterization, and integration resources of CNF to build structures, devices, and systems from atomic to complex large-scales.

    Users belong to diverse departments: astronomy, plant pathology, materials science, physics, chemistry, life-sciences, various departments of engineering, etc., and industry, and learn and use the tools available in the facility. CNF is open 24 hours a day, and provides the interactive and exciting learning and practicing environment critical to successful research. External users typically spend a week to two to complete their work with strong staff support. Many projects can also be accomplished remotely.
