Nanomaterials Characterization Facility
Nanomaterials Characterization Facility


The Nanomaterials Characterization Facility (NCF) at CU-Boulder provides education and user access to state of the art instruments for nanotechnology. Our current instruments include: Field Emission Electron Microscope (FESEM), Low Vacuum Electron Microscope (LVSEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM), Dual Beam Focused Ion Beam (FIB), a Nano Indenter, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD). A Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) is available as well, please contact Anna Bjugstad at ncf@colorado.edu for more information on the TEM. We will also help arrange use of other nanotechnology instrumentation around the University. Our staff researchers have over 60 years combined experience in nanoscale related sciences. They are available to assist you with your nano- to microscale projects. Please click “Getting Started” above to learn more about the NCF.

Nanotechnology in Nature: Ancient Algae Hints at Earth’s Past, Nanotechnology’s Future

Shaped like a WWII bunker, just a few microns across, and created by single-celled algae, the silica shells of diatoms are telling scientists about Earth's past, and perhaps humankind's technological future.
