/ Areas of Research
Twenty-first century materials synthesis and processing techniques span length scales, from the nanometer for quantum devices to meters for smart or adaptive structures.
Research Areas
Northwestern researchers demonstrate expertise in state-of-the-art molecular synthesis and self-assembly in thin film techniques, such as molecular beam epitaxy and chemical vapor deposition, as well as in bulk processing techniques such as gelcasting and novel methods for metal foams.
