The Robinson Group is located in the Penn State Millennium Science Complex (MSC).
The MSC has two state of the art facilities dedicated to device fabrication and materials characterization:
- The Nanofab: 9,500 sq. ft. nano-clean room for nanofabrication
- The Materials Characterization Lab: >75 instruments for characterization of 2D coatings
Our laboratory is located across several rooms within the MSC (N037, N040,N125, N129, N243). Below are some images of select labs, and pieces of equipment we have specifically for 2D materials research.
