The USC nanofabrication facilities consists of a pair of cleanrooms dedicated to research (O’Brien Nanofabrication Laboratory) and teaching (Powell Teaching Laboratory). As core USC recharge facilities, they are open to all members of the USC research community and are available to external users. The breadth of instrumentation enables the cores to support the diverse research activities of USC from fundamental quantum transport studies to nano/bioconvergent research. These labs are complementary to several other core facilities on campus, forming a thriving research ecosystem.
