Engineering at the molecular level has the potential to produce important technologies that use materials with new and fundamentally different properties. It is now possible to fabricate structures on the molecular level using microelectronics techniques or grow them using new molecular fabrication techniques. The future impact of these technologies – for the home, for communications, for medicine, for transportation, for agriculture, and for industry in general – is undeniable. With world-renowned microscopy capabilities and expertise in optics, microelectronics, and materials science, Lehigh is quietly leading a revolution in the characterization, design, and manipulation of materials at the atomic or molecular scale.
