10.28.22 | The NFCF Hosts PJAS Nanotechnology Workshop
The 11th annual Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science (PJAS) Nanotechnology workshop, entitled "Visualization of Nanotechnology" has again been a great success. During the workshop, 19 high school student members from 9 high schools learned about state of the art nanofabrication and characterization technologies and participated in Cleanroom and Electron Microscope experiences. The attendees divided into three groups, to allow for more direct participation in each portion of the demonstration and to receive hands on guidance from our faculty Nano-specialists. We are looking forward again to next year!
