Sculptured thin film technology developed by Akhlesh Lakhtakia, distinguished professor of engineering science and mechanics, has been named a winner in Nanotech Briefs magazine's first annual Nano 50.

The Nano 50 recognizes the top fifty technologies, products, and innovators that have significantly impacted, or are expected to impact, the state of the art in nanotechnology.

Sculptured thin films are a class of nanoengineered materials with properties that can be designed and realized in a controllable manner using physical vapor deposition.
