NAS: The New York NanoTech Cluster Albany, New York, April 3, 2013 Pradeep Haldar CNSE Vice President Professor, Head Pioneering Innovation to Drive an Educational and Economic Renaissance in New York State
CNSE The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the State University of New York (SUNY) is a global education, research, development and technology deployment resource dedicated to preparing the next generation of scientists and researchers in nanotechnology. By leveraging its resources in partnership with business and government, CNSE supports accelerated high technology education and commercialization, and seeks to create jobs and economic growth for nanotechnology-related industries.
What is Nanotechnology? Encompassing a wide range of disciplines, nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at the nanoscale (human hair is 100,000 nanometers) Fundamentally different phenomena Increased surface-to-volume ratio Quantum effects
