CU Boulder is leading a first-of-its-kind National Quantum Nanofab (NQN) — a $20 million facility that will provide researchers from universities, government and industry with tools to fabricate and test groundbreaking quantum devices. 
Thursday, Oct. 10. 9 a.m.-3 p.m. (MT), Jennie Smoly Caruthers Biotechnology Building, Room E225 COSINC is introducing our new Xenocs Xeuss 3.0 instrument with a small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) workshop. We will present an overview
Researchers at CU Boulder will soon begin work on what they’re calling the “quantum machine shop” of the 21st century. The U.S. National Science Foundation today announced a $20 million grant to CU Boulder to launch a facility known as the National Quantum Nanofab (NQN). In this facility, Colorado researchers and quantum specialists from around the country will be able to design and build incredibly small devices that tap into the world of atoms and photons—the tiny packets of energy that make up light. Principal Investigator Scott Diddams, professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, alongside a team of physicists and engineers, will lead the realization of this maker space. Diddams said it will help transform discoveries from the quantum world into technologies and devices that can have greater impact on society, and shore up a rapidly growing sector of Colorado’s economy.
A state-of-the-art instrument coming soon to CU Boulder will improve research around quantum engineering and may eventually prove to be a game-changer for interdisciplinary materials and device research in the Rocky Mountain region.
A number of researchers at CU Boulder are celebrating the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act by Congress.
The Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization (COSINC) facility will host a day-long workshop and training session on Material 3D-Nanofabrication and Characterization from 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. on Aug. 9 on CU Boulder’s Campus in Discovery Learning Center room 1B70.
With the goal of enhancing operations within core and shared instrumentation facilities on the CU Boulder campus, the 2022 Core Facility Assistance Grant Program has awarded 10 new grants totaling $107K to faculty projects spanning multiple departments and disciplines.
