Easy Access to World-Class Resources
The Singh Center supports nanotechnology innovation by providing easily accessible fabrication, characterization and measurement of nanomaterials and devices in the heart of Philadelphia under one roof for scientists and researchers. The Singh Center for Nanotechnology houses three (3) core facilities for the School of Engineering and Applied Science, which are managed by our expert staff to train users on our instrumentation and tools:
- Quattrone Nanofabrication Facility (cleanroom),
- Nanoscale Characterization Facility (electron microscopes and ion beam), and the
- Scanning and Local Probe Facility (AFM, STM, confocal microscopy and local probe station).
Please follow the instructions below on how to reach the appropriate facility staff to discuss your project. Applicants must receive staff approval before requesting access to the Center.
