NYU Tandon Cleanroom for Advancing Technology – The NYU Tandon School of Engineering today will preview Brooklyn’s first NYU Tandon Cleanroom for Advancing Technology, where scientists and engineers from across greater New York will fabricate advanced materials and devices on the micro- and nano-scale in order to push the boundaries of established scientific principles and future technology. Such fabrication facilities are essential to experiments in nanotechnology, quantum computing, minute biosensors that could revolutionize medicine, ultra-fast electronics, hardware that is secure from hackers, and much more.
