This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports the acquisition of an advanced Thermal Scanning Probe Lithography (T-SPL) instrument, the NanoFrazor (NF) Explore, by the University of Mississippi (UM). The NF Explore uses a unique lithography method to directly create micro- and nano-scale structures and patterns, eliminating the need for photomasks. This $673,510 award will significantly enhance multidisciplinary research capabilities at UM and neighboring institutions in the Mid-South region, benefiting researchers across fields such as chemistry, biology, materials science, and engineering. The acquisition will also provide invaluable hands-on training for undergraduate and graduate students, and include educational outreach activities to promote nanotechnology and nanoscience awareness. This award aims to introduce much-needed nanofabrication capabilities to the state of Mississippi, which currently lacks a dedicated nanofabrication facility.
