A huge thank you to everyone who attended the IEEE Nanotechnology Council USask Chapter event! We had a great time exploring the fascinating world of micro- and nanotechnology and discussing how these tiny innovations have a big impact on our lives.
Stay tuned for more events, and let's keep Expanding Nano-Borders Together!

Researchers at the University of Rochester have demonstrated that twisting two layers of molybdenum diselenide at large angles creates excitons that function as quantum bits, potentially advancing quantum computing technologies.

Twisting atomically thin materials could advance quantum computers Researchers show that precisely layering nano-thin materials creates excitons -- essentially, artificial atoms -- that can act as quantum information bits, or qubits.

MIT physicists have discovered that electrons can form crystalline structures in rhombohedral graphene—a material composed of atomically thin carbon layers stacked in a specific order—by adjusting the applied voltage at ultra-low temperatures. This finding adds to a series of novel electronic behaviors observed in this material, including the emergence of new electronic states and the fractionalization of electrons. ​You can find more information here: https://news.mit.edu/2025/mit-physicists-find-unexpected-crystals-electrons-new-ultrathin-material-0226

Join the IEEE Student Activities Committee leadership on 17 April 2024 at 10am ET for the IEEE Education Week SAC Ask Us Anything panel. Attendees will be able to ask our panelists anything about IEEE Students and IEEE Young Professionals. Come and find out how IEEE can benefit you.

2023 was a year to remember. We received our award for outstanding performance during adverse times (2021-2022) starting the first IEEE-NTC student branch chapter in Western Canada. We collaborated with other IEEE volunteers across Canada and organized events where we engaged young professionals with experts in various research areas of nanotechnology. I couldn't be more thankful to my colleagues Eric Petro and Jose Alvim Berkenbrock for all their efforts, teamwork and passion for nanotechnology. I also thank the IEEE-NTC for recognizing our achievements and considering us for this award. I'm confident that the new team (including Noah Zanyk) will gain more members to the chapter and continue to make a difference by connecting students and volunteers with experts across USask and Canada.
