The NanoMan Laboratory is a state-of-the-art research
facility with the mission of investigating materials, tools, and
techniques for enabling three dimensional intergraded structures,
devices and systems at the nanoscale.
|
| |
|
| Objectives |
Our objective is to give a better
understanding of exact what Nanotechnology is to the
people of Richmond and the students, faculty, and staff of Virginia
Commonwealth University.

|
| Research
Areas |
In the NanoMan Lab at
VCU our research is mainly focused on the creation of nanodots
and the formation of nanowires. These two special
substances will be used to create substantially larger objects. More.

| Nanotechnology |
It is basically understanding and
controlling matter that measures at a scale of 1 to 100 nanometers so
that unique experiences can make different possible functions. Or in a
much simpler matter, the engineering of tiny machines. More.
|
| |
| Nanomanufacturing |
The creation of different structures by starting from the
inside (nano size) and working your way out (micro size and beyond).
This process is used instead of starting with a larger substance and
breaking it down to the size required. More.
