Columbia Nano Initiative

AFM in Action at Columbia! We had a fantastic turnout at yesterday’s Atomic Force Microscopy Workshop, co-hosted by Bruker and the Columbia Nano Initiative. Researchers from across disciplines gathered in Havemeyer Hall to explore cutting-edge applications of AFM, featuring insightful talks by Christina McBean (Columbia), Dr. Tai-De Li (ASRC), and Bruker’s own John Thornton and Mike Berg.

The highlight? A hands-on demo of Bruker’s brand-new Dimension Nexus AFM, a powerful, precise, and practical tool for nanoscale discovery.

Huge thanks to all who participated, presented, and helped make this event a success (especially our very own Luca Telesca). Stay tuned for more workshops and tech showcases coming soon!

We are elevating our lab's capabilities!
This new Across International tube furnace has just arrive to CNI! The furnace can operate at temperatures as high as 1,600C with an alumina crucible accommodating 4" wafers, as well as a digital controller for accurate temperature management. The furnace can be used for annealing and testing and will be installed in our cleanroom in the next few weeks. That's a great start for the new year🥳!
