Earlier this month, the Office of Federal Relations & the Office of State Relations hosted an open house at the UW’s Washington Nanofabrication Facility (WNF). Congressional staffers and local industry partners joined UW faculty to tour the facility and learn more about its importance to researchers and engineers in the Pacific Northwest. The WNF is a shared user facility that provides open access to leading-edge and traditional micro and nanofabrication processing equipment. WNF is an integral part of the UW Institute for Nano-engineered Systems (NanoES) and NSF’s Northwest Nanotechnology Infrastructure. Located on UW’s Seattle campus, the facility has 15,000 square feet of cleanroom and laboratory space that is open to academic and industry researchers to use for a wide range of applications including Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems, quantum computing, biosensors and more.
