Background

• Nanotechnology offers “game changing” potential.
• A convergent technology with tremendous

economic growth potential economic growth potential

• Lux Research estimates a $2.6T impact on the

world’s economy by 2014

• The scientific meaning of “nano” is one billionth.
• A nanometer is the dimensional scale of atomic
• r molecular clusters (one billionth of a meter)
• Nanotechnology is the science & engineering

know how to manipulate atoms and molecules to know how to manipulate atoms and molecules to form systems with customized properties and functions. E bli f

• Enabling for
• Product innovation
• New device types
• New fabrication techniques

What is small?

• “Nano” in Pop Culture is in the eye of the beholder

Hummer “nano” H3 iPod “nano-chromatic” “Nanobama” (Hart, Tawfick,

DeVolder & Walker, U. Michigan, 2008)

• What is considered small in science has been constantly changing

Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering

JSNN

• The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) was created by UNCG and

NC A&T with the support of the University of North Carolina system, the North Carolina General Assembly and the Greensboro/Triad community. Initial funding includes: – $50M for construction of the JSNN building – $8.0M for capital equipment

• JSNN’s goal is to be a world leader in research and nano-related education.

– Develop research strengths in interdisciplinary areas focused on nanobio – Achieve economic growth for the Triad through joint investment and co-location with NC, National and International company partners

Summary

• Nanotechnology is a critical part our economy

– Nanotechnology is revolutionizing IT, electronics medicine defense electronics, medicine, defense, entertainment, transportation, and communication JSNN will be a top academic institution in

• JSNN will be a top academic institution in

nanotechnology. – JSNN focus is on four goals: establish the curriculum, build the facility, hire the faculty and staff and begin outreach – Partnerships at JSNN will help build infrastructure and foster innovation.

• The JSNN model and infrastructure will grow
• The JSNN model and infrastructure will grow

as new educational, technological and partnership opportunities arise.
