Always a treat to hear our co-founder, @CHADNANO, share his perspective on the future of nanotechnology and the capabilities of our TERA-Fab®️ tools and how they can be used for semiconductor chip manufacturing and processing for the emerging AI industry. An inspiring talk and a great reminder of the science and vision behind this great work. #TERAprint #TERAFab #Nanotechnology #Nanofabrication

The discovery of C60 in 1985 reshaped our understanding of materials. At the 40th anniversary celebration, strong parallels were made with the discovery of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs), a new form of one of the most important molecules ever synthesized by chemists.
