NNIN provides opportunities for nano science and nanotechnology research, including support in fabrication, synthesis, characterization, modeling, design, computation, and hands-on training in an open environment. While all fourteen sites did not participate in the 2014 NNIN REU Program, the members are: ASU NanoFab, Arizona State University Cornell NanoScale Science & Technology Facility, Cornell University Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology, Georgia Institute of Technology Center for Nanoscale Systems, Harvard University Howard Nanoscale Science & Engineering Facility, Howard University Penn State Nanofabrication Facility, The Pennsylvania State University Stanford Nanofabrication Facility, Stanford University UCSB Nanofabrication Facility, University of California, Santa Barbara Colorado Nanofabrication Laboratory, University of Colorado, Boulder Lurie Nanofabrication Facility, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Minnesota Nano Center, University of Minnesota Microelectronics Research Center, The University of Texas at Austin Washington Nanofabrication Facility & Molecular Analysis Facility, University of Washington Nano Research Facility, Washington University at St. Louis http://www.nnin.org/ ii •2014•NNIN•REU•Research•Accomplishments• 22001144 NNNNIINN RREEUU RReesseeaarrcchh AAccccoommpplliisshhmmeennttss TABLE OF CONTENTS 2014 NNIN REU REpoRts by sEctIoN ..................................Iv-xIII 2014 NNIN REU photogRaph cREdIts .................................... xIII 2014 NNIN REU coRpoRatE spoNsoRs ......................... xIv 2014 NNIN REU dIREctoRs’ INtRodUctIoN ................................xv 2014 NNIN REU INtERNs by NNIN sItE 1.
