| Shared Experimental Facilities |
| |
| The Center currently has four shared laboratories (a total of 6,943
sq ft): Simulations and Modeling, Catalyst Preparation and Characterization,
and Microkinetic. In addition, the Electron-Optics Laboratory (3,162
sq ft), which is a shared institutional laboratory at Stevens, is
heavily used to support our research activitities. The facilities
have been recently renovated and equipped with the following capabilities:

Current and future research facilities of the Center are geared
toward microreactor design and characterization activities and not
toward equipment- and facility-intensive microfabrication processes.
We have developed a number of strategic working relationships to integrate
our materials research activities with microfabrication technologies
established at:
(1) New Jersey Nanotechnology Consortium (NJNC) at Lucent-Bell Labs;
(2) New Jersey Institute of Technology,
(3) Sarnoff Corporation,
(4) Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe in Germany; and
(5) Cornell Nanofabrication Facility (CNF). |
