Abstract:
A University of Akron engineering professor will explore the use of magnets to assemble nanoscale devices with the help of a $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation. Dr. Igor Tsukerman, an Akron associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, is part of a team of researchers that was awarded a four-year grant through NSF’s Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams program. The team’s project is titled “Magnetically Driven Assembly of Heterogeneous Nanosystems.”
