How to get up close to nanotech
Abstract:
In a special wing of a new six-storey building at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, researchers will soon be able to use the “quietest” laboratories in Canada. The labs, which open early next year, are specially engineered so that mechanical vibrations, acoustic noise and electromagnetic interference will be as small as possible. Forming part of the new home for Canada’s National Institute for Nanotechnology, the facilities will let researchers create and study nanoscale structures with exquisite precision.
