Nanostructure research at the West Virginia EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Simulate Competitive Research) is shown. West Virginia University electrical engineering graduate research assistant Ting Liu explains the use of molecular beam epitaxy for the growth of nanostructures to physics undergraduate Kirk Pirlo. The equipment was upgraded using funding from the National Science Foundation EPSCoR activity, provided through West Virginia EPSCoR during a previous Research Infrastructure Improvement grant (RII).
