Vacuum Science and Technology Division (American Vacuum Society)

The Vacuum Science and Technology Division of the American Vacuum Society focuses on advancing knowledge and applications related to vacuum systems—techniques used to remove air and gases from enclosed spaces. This field is essential for developing high-precision manufacturing, scientific research, and electronics. The division promotes research, collaboration, and education in areas like vacuum pumps, chambers, and measurement techniques, supporting innovations that rely on creating controlled, low-pressure environments. Its work helps improve technologies in industries such as semiconductor production, aerospace, and materials science, enabling progress in fields that require extremely clean and controlled conditions.
