Located at the California Institute of Technology, the KAVLI NANOSCIENCE INSTITUTE emphasizes research in nanobiotechnology, nanophotonics, and large-scale integration of nanosystems. A core mission of the KNI is to push the state-of-the-art beyond current capabilities in nanofabrication. To this end, the KNI has pursued aggressive acquisition of strategic instrumentation for advanced nanofabrication capabilities. Our multi-user laboratories and cleanrooms for nanostructure synthesis, fabrication, and characterization are available to users from both academia and industry.
