Build bridges to leadership in nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is opening vast new frontiers in fields such as medicine, pharmaceuticals, information technology, energy, and manufacturing. The College of Science and Engineering is committed to becoming a leader in research involving nanotechnology and its applications. Construction of a world-class nanotechnology facility is critical to achieving this goal. With your support, we can build bridges from our current successes to tomorrow’s solutions.
Today’s successes
- Top rankings among academic institutions in nanotechnology research
- Ground-breaking research that uses nanotechnology to make advances toward cheaper, more efficient solar cells
- Nanotechnology innovations developed by University faculty that has been licensed to Minnesota businesses
- University nanotechnology facilities used by hundreds of industry partners
- Collaborations across centers and disciplines to develop practical applications of nanotechnology research
Tomorrow’s solutions
- Building a world-class research facility that will make the University of Minnesota a leader in nanotechnology (our 20-year-old nano lab is no longer adequate for the scope and scale of this important work)
- Attracting top graduate students and fellows in nanotechnology – who go on to work in top companies like ExxonMobil, Honeywell, 3M, Boeing, and many others
- Attracting and supporting faculty doing key research in nanotechnology and its applications
