• Nanotechnology offers “game changing” potential. - A convergent technology with tremendous economic growth potentialeconomic 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 or molecular clusters (one billionth of a meter)
- Nanotechnology is the science & engineering know how to manipulate atoms and molecules toknow 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

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

JSNN Research Facility
• The JSNN research facilities should be industrial quality and enable the diverse research activities of the faculty and partners. The programming plan for the facility includes:
Laboratories– Laboratories• Nanobiology• Nanobiochemistry and Nutrition• Nanobiophysics and Nanobiomedical Engineering
– Facilities with specialized requirements• Nanoelectronic and Bioelectronic Cleanrooms• Materials Characterization (Microscopy Suite, NMR Room, Nanomaterials Characterization)• BSL3 Laboratory• Nanofabrication facility including (Nanoparticle Synthesis, Nanofiber Characterization,
Nanocomposite Structure Fabrication Facility)
– Options for small specialized (potentially proprietary) facilities • Plant research• Environmental • Energy • Other Engineering
