nano@stanford
Welcome to nano@stanford
We provide shared scientific instrumentation, laboratory facilities, and expert staff support to enable multidisciplinary research and educate tomorrow's scientists and engineers.
nano@stanford brings together the long-established Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF) and the Stanford Nano Shared Facilities (SNSF). This merger, which formally began on September 1, 2025, combines our strengths to better serve the Stanford research community. During this transition, the original SNF and SNSF websites remain available.
