The University of Western Ontario will unveil its new $23-million nanofabrication laboratory this Thursday. The facility will enable the fabrication of materials at dimensions below the wavelength of light.

Unique in Canada, the nanofabrication laboratory’s cutting-edge research focuses on photonics, or the harnessing of light. Sophisticated new lithographic tools, including a focused ion beam, allow for pattern and feature definition of materials at dimensions below the wavelength of light, which may lead to significant advances in the Information Technology and Engineering sectors by enabling smaller and more powerful components.
