My research advances the ability to make, manipulate, measure, and understand materials and structures with nanometre dimensions. Due to the influence of quantum mechanics, properties of materials change when we reduce their dimensions to the nanometre range, which provides us opportunities to create materials and devices that make use of quantum phenomena. A well-known example is the USB memory stick, which makes use of quantum tunneling to retain information in the form of stored electrons. Nanotechnology also brings new challenges for the instruments that can manipulate and measure materials with tiny dimensions. Nanomaterials science has seen rapid development in the past decade, and many new applications are emerging in diverse fields including communications, the environment, medicine, and wearable technologies.
