This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program Project Grant award of $569,780 to Texas State University supports the acquisition of a state-of-the-art Nanofrazor Explore lithography system. This cutting-edge tool enables precise micro- and nanoscale device fabrication without traditional photomasks, significantly enhancing the university's research capabilities in areas such as photovoltaics, 2D materials, quantum dots, microfluidics, and plasmonic biosensors. The system's capabilities will streamline prototyping, reduce alignment errors, and support numerous current and future research projects, while also improving hands-on training for students and increasing participation of underrepresented minorities in STEM fields. This award reflects the NSF's mission to advance fundamental research, develop critical infrastructure, and broaden participation in the nation's STEM enterprise.
