This intensive 3.5 day short course offered by the Cornell NanoScale Science & Technology Facility, combines lectures and laboratory demonstrations designed to impart a broad understanding of the science and technology required to undertake research in nanoscience. Attendance is open to the general scientific community, but class size is limited to 30 participants (see notes below).

The short course does not replace the three part training required to become a user of our facility. The short course augments one's understanding of nanotechnology and CNF's capabilities.

Target Audience

• Attendance is open to the general scientific community and is not limited to CNF users or Cornell students. It is suitable for both new and experienced researchers interested in nanoscale science. An emphasis will be placed on CNF laboratory resources, however, the concepts and techniques discussed are generally applicable to research in this field and do not require use of CNF. Please note the lab demonstrations do not replace any required formal tool trainings.
