When materials and structures are created and engineered at the nanometer scale—approaching atomic dimensions—they can display fundamentally new properties and behavior as a direct result of their small size. Research in nanoscale science and engineering is unveiling new worlds of ideas and applications, as well as promoting advances in miniaturization. The Maryland NanoCenter brings together cross-disciplinary groups of outstanding scientists and engineers to advance the frontiers of science and to develop nanotechnologies which improve our world.
