Interdisciplinary Research: Materials

UH researchers are using high-tech tools and methods to engineer materials technologies that could one day impact everything from the way data is stored to how nanotech devices are produced. Electron beam lithography, one of many such methods, was recently demonstrated in the college’s Center for Nanomagnetic Systems to create the logo featured on the cover. Magnified for use, the Cullen College of Engineering logo is seen written at 10-microns—about five times smaller than the average human hair. The technique utilizes an electron beam, just a few nanometers in width, to generate the pattern of the logo on a polymethyl methacrylate (plastic-like) surface.
