Nanostructure Research

In-situ mechanical testing of 1-D nanostructures under direct view of electron microscope: Aim is to explore new techniques for separation and mechanical testing of materials that are 10,000 times smaller than width of a human hair. The nanomanipulators and scanning electron microscope were installed last year and one undergraduate and a graduate student has received the training.

In the Spotlight

MANHATTAN -- If another nuclear emergency occurs like that in March at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, a key Kansas State University research laboratory could play a key role with its newly enhanced capabilities for large-scale production of disposable radiation detectors. These detectors can be used to measure the amount of radiation released in the atmosphere. Read More...
