BIG NANOTECHNanotechnology is rapidly
changing the face of our world, broadening our
view via unprecedented access to information,
unique opportunities to influence our
environment, and an ever growing ability to
engineer materials for novel and previously
unimaginable applications. With the right
training and research experience, the
opportunities are abysmal.

In this section, we introduce you to one of the
finest and pioneering Nanotechnology Research
Centers in the whole of United States - College
of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of
the University at Albany State University of
New York. The CNSE-SUNY is a global education,
research, development and technology deployment
resource dedicated to preparing the next
generation of scientists and researchers in
nanotechnology.The UAlbany CNSE is the first
college in the world dedicated to education,
research, development and deployment in the
emerging disciplines of nanoscience,
nanoengineering, nanobioscience and anoeconomics.
With more than 14 billion in high-tech
investments, CNSE represents the world's most
advanced university-driven research enterprise,
offering students a one-of-a-kind academic
experience and providing over 300 corporate
partners with access to an unmatched ecosystem
for leading-edge RD and commercialization of
nanoelectronics and nanotechnology innovations

The degree programs provide a solid foundation in
the emerging interdisciplinary fields of
Nanoscale Science and Nanoscale Engineering in
preparation for entry into the workforce or for
further graduate study and research leading to a
doctoral degree. Furthermore, they prepare
scientists and engineers for effective
participation in the management of nanotechnology
based organizations. At CNSE, world-class
academic pursuits in the following areas are
combined with a focus on rapid transfer of novel
concepts and ideas into industrial use.

Nanoscience refers to the observation,
identification, description, discovery,
experimental investigation, and theoretical
interpretation of nanoscale phenomena.Nanoengine
ering is the application of nanoscience
principles to practical ends, such as the design,
manufacture, and operation of efficient and
functional structures, machines, processes, and
systems on the atomic scale.Nanobioscience
refers to the application of nanoscale scientific
concepts and principles to the study of
biological and biomedical structures and systems.
In addition, nanobioscience encompasses CNSE's
NanoHealth initiative, which is aimed at
developing novel nanotechnology applications in
nanomedicine, including nanotoxicology and
environmental and public health.Nanoeconomics
is the formulation, study, and analysis of the
economic and business principles underlying the
development and deployment of nanoscale know how,
products, and systems.

To this end, they have established a unique
industry-university government partnership model
that provides access to state-of the-art 300mm
wafer processing capabilities required for rapid
insertion of such concepts into the mainstream
manufacturing menu. CNSE provides an environment
that bridges the gap between university research
opportunities and manufacturing implementation.
