Micro and Nanotechnology in Mechanical
Micro and Nanotechnology in Mechanical There’s a big future in small things. Nanotechnology is the new frontier of engineering, imagining new possibilities in manufacturing, fluid mechanics, robotics, combustion, biomedicine, measurements, heat transfer, and more. Purdue hosts the largest academic cleanroom in the world, the Birck Nanotechnology Center , where interdisciplinary teams have access to the absolute cutting-edge of nano-scale characterization (microscopy and measurements) and fabrication (deposition, etching, lithography, etc.) With these tools, mechanical engineers conduct world-class research in: Nanoscale manufacturing Micro- and nano-fluidics Biomolecular detection Nanoscale thermal transport Computational modeling Nanomechanical materials Design & Manufacturing If you want to build it, first you’ve got to design it. That’s why Design & Manufacturing is such a vital as...
