A state-of-the-art lab that will support research programs ranging from photonics to quantum computing to nanoelectronics will open at the University of Waterloo today.

The Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) facility is a high-end research and development lab with production capabilities. It will produce compound semiconductor materials. MBE is now a fundamentally important tool for the fabrication of semiconductor devices for cell phones, solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LED).

Date: Wednesday, June 4, 2014

Time: 3 to 5 p.m.

Location: Atrium, Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre, University of Waterloo
