Completion of the CART Lab Renovation

CART is pleased to announce the completion of its renovation in August 2013. The modernized facility is an open access ‘one stop shop' for novel research and training activities.

Key areas of renovation include

  1. the consolidation of instruments into one location to enhance collaborations and the efficiency of research,
  2. the addition of an adjacent clean room and technology incubator to facilitate the seamless and contiguous flow of samples and devices — from synthesis/processing labs to characterization/analysis equipment,
  3. real-time visualization of the samples being characterized, with high-speed remote access of these instruments so that research can be conducted with external collaborators located off site,
  4. increased visibility of research via glass wall enclosures so that the general public, students, school groups and other guests can view research activities, with the additional ability to transmit these activities to classrooms and museums to enhance educational outreach.

The integration of CART with the clean room and technology incubator is now able to bring new opportunities for faculty researchers and students as well as collaborators in industries and other institutions.

UNT to build advanced materials analysis lab

The University of North Texas will build one of the most advanced materials analysis laboratories at any university when it begins construction of its new Nanofabrication Analysis and Research Facility in November at UNT's Discovery Park.

New Auger 72 machine

New instruments installed in the Center for Advanced Research and Technology at UNT

New xps 72 machine Two new instruments were recently installed in the Center for Advanced Research and Technology (CART) at the University of North Texas. A Scanning Auger Nanoprobe and a VersaProbe™ Scanning XPS Microprobe, both from Physical Electronics Inc., were installed at the Discovery Park facility in March 2008 and are now in operation.
