nano@stanford is currently in the process of merging & expanding!

We are expanding into a new low-vibration laboratory space!    Learn about the Deep Lab  
 

During the merger, some areas of the site may be incomplete or undergoing updates. 
 The Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF/Fab@Allen) and the Stanford Nano Shared Facilities (SNSF) websites are available as needed during this transition.

 

Deep Lab - Expansion of nano@stanford

Transforming End Station 3 into a Cutting-Edge Hub for Nanoscale Research and Education

STATUS UPDATE

The Deep Lab project received the "Temporary Certificate of Occupancy" at the end of December 2025. Tool installations are currently underway with many of the tools ramping up operations. We expect the majority of instruments to be fully operational by April 2026. There will be a Grand Opening event scheduled around that time to officially kick off the Deep Lab. Until the opening, nano@stanford will be operating in soft-start mode. Please be patient as we need to establish many processes. If you have any questions or encounter any issues, please reach out to us at nano-deeplab-issues@lists.stanford.edu.

 

PROJECT VISION

To transform End Station 3 into a cutting edge multi-disciplinary research and education hub focused on nanoscale characterization at the Stanford Nano Shared Facilities

PROJECT LEAD 

Stanford Nano Shared Facilities under the Vice Provost and Dean of Research 

GOALS AND PRIORITIES

The Deep Lab project realizes a new and reimagined space in the current End Station 3 that integrates shared facilities, collaborative and specialty faculty research space and educational instruction infrastructure. The co-location of research and educational spaces, combined with new educational initiatives, will expand laboratory and research experiences to a broader population of undergraduate students, graduate students and other Stanford researchers.   

When completed, the Deep Lab project will accomplish the following goals:

  • To support new research directions and new centers at Stanford by expanding advanced instrumentation capabilities via individual high-performance tools and clusters of tools for nanoscale characterization.
  • To provide educational space for facilities-based and laboratory course-based training and instruction
  • To showcase cutting edge scientific research at Stanford for student and faculty recruitment and development
