Printing the nano-world, one meniscus at a time.

AMGL focuses on advancing nanoscale fabrication and functional micro/nanostructures. We investigate plasmonic nanostructures for ultrasensitive SERS-based sensing, biomaterial-based functional platforms, optical and electronic nanodevices, and soft microactuators. Our core technology, meniscus-guided 3D nanoprinting, enables precise fabrication of complex nanoscale architectures for molecular detection, biomedical diagnostics, and optoelectronics.
