Nano is Big in North Carolina
The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) began with a simple but powerful idea: to create a facility where nanoscience and nanoengineering could be accessible to everyone.

Nanoscale research involves measurement, manipulation, and fabrication on a minuscule scale. The accurate tasks essential to nanoscale research require “quiet” spaces.

Nanotechnology is 10 years old: What’s next?
Over the past decade, we have witnessed tremendous strides in the development of nanotechnology worldwide.

Now We're Talking! (A Conversation With Dr. Clayton Teague)
In 2001, the federal government launched the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative, (NNI), with an initial investment of $500 million.

Nanotechnology Research Requires a Different Breed of Laboratories and Cleanrooms
It would be nice to be able to build a typical laboratory and command that “thou shall conduct nanoscale research here.” However, as nanoscale research evolves so must the architecture and building technologies.
