Molecular Foundry Presentation

Leonce Gaiter from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will be
here to talk about opportunities for SNF users to access the
Molecular Foundry for their work:

Tuesday, August 18th
noon
Allen (formerly) CIS 101 (The Linville Room)

Here is an abstract of the talk:

This presentation will provide an overview of The Molecular Foundry
and the user program through which it provides researchers from
academia, industry and government no-cost access to expert scientific
personnel, and state-of-the-art instrumentation and techniques for
the advancement of nanoscale materials research. The Foundry is an
especially valuable resource for users pursuing multidisciplinary
research in the fields of biology, energy, engineering and physics.
Researchers can access six in-house user facilities for the
investigation of biological, organic, inorganic and microfabricated
nanoscale building blocks and their integration into complex
functional assemblies. The Foundry provides unique capabilities in
nanoimaging and spectroscopy, nanointerfaces, nanofabrication and
combinatorial nanoscience. Projects are considered in three basic
categories that include options for sample-only and instrument-only
collaborations in addition to fully supported standard programs. The
Foundry conducts three announced call for proposals cycles per calendar year.
