The Rick-9000

Rick-9000

SELF-ASSEMBLED MOLECULAR JUNCTIONS

We are developing new ways to contact ensembles of molecules on the micro scale, and collections of single molecules on the nanometer scale using EGaIn, Nanoskiving and soft lithography.

The Rick-9000
The Rick-9000 enables variable and gradient temperature measurements across molecular ensemble junctions.
