The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $3,500,000 Project Grant under the Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617) to the University of Washington (UW) to upgrade key instruments at the Washington Nanofabrication Facility (WNF). The grant will fund the replacement of outdated tools, such as the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Ion Beam Etching (IBE) machine, with state-of-the-art equipment. These upgrades will significantly enhance the WNF's research capabilities in critical areas like semiconductor technology, quantum systems, and bio-nano interfaces, fostering breakthroughs that can advance fields such as medicine, renewable energy, and communication technologies. The project also aims to strengthen collaborations with industry and government partners, stimulate economic growth, and reinforce the WNF's role as a national leader in nanotechnology research and innovation. The award period runs from October 1, 2024, to November 30, 2025.
