The next MIT.nano user meeting will be Wednesday July 22 from 2 p.m. - 3 p.m. Please check your email for meeting login information, or contact us at mitnano.mit.edu.
Approximate agenda:
- Lab usage and recent observations during our continued ramp-up
- Our plans and timelines for user-training (tool specific, as well as new user orientations)
- Updated information or timelines on external user access (If available)
- Tool status and issues of existing tools, updates on new tools currently being installed, and a very short sneak-preview of the phase II tool move planning
- Any tool-specific or more in-depth questions: please email those to us ahead of time at mitnano-feedback@mit.edu to help us provide you with better responses in the meeting.
- Open discussion: how are things working out for you? what are your concerns for next month or two, as well as longer-term?
- If you are not comfortable sharing your thoughts in the larger user-meeting, and instead want to discuss feedback, suggestions or problems in a smaller setting (or even 1-on-1), contact us to set something up!
If you missed our last user meeting, watch the video and read more.
Reminder: Surprise power shutdown in Fab-39 July 7-9.
Important: This does not impact Fab-12. This applies only to Fab-39.
Tools will be put into a safe state by the staff on Tuesday afternoon (or earlier if the tools are not reserved/used)
The power shutdown will take place on Wednesday morning, July 8.
As soon as power is restored on Wednesday and staff can re-enter the building, tools will be turned on. There will be some dispersion; complex tools may not be re-started until Thursday, while simpler tools may be immediately available on Wednesday. Check CORAL to see when tools are up!
Other reminders on lab safety, based on recent observations:
- No shorts and open toe shoes in the lab
- No food in the lab
- No headsets or ear-buds
All of these have good physical, chemical, or other reasons behind them (it’s a useful exercise to see if you can identify them)
