Welcome to the University of Notre Dame’s Center for Nano Science and Technology.
With expert scientists, research facilities and the latest equipment, the University of Notre Dame’s Center for Nano Science and Technology is one of the leading nanotechnology centers in the world. Our mission is to understand how to manipulate and control the properties of materials, devices and their interface to living systems at the nanoscale. With this knowledge, we aim to be a force for good.
The Center for Nano Science and Technology promotes collaboration among participating faculty from seven departments, as well as industry, government and university partners.

NEW PAPER EXAMINES SEAWATER'S EFFECT ON NUCLEAR FUEL. The University of Notre Dame's Peter Burns, Henry J. Massman Professor of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences, and Ginger Sigmon, managing director of the Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC), and colleagues from the University of California-Davis and Sandia National Laboratory have discovered a new manner in which seawater can corrode nuclear fuel, forming uranium compounds that could potentially travel long distances, either in solution or as small particles. More. DOBROWOLSKA AND FURDYNA NAMED AAAS FELLOWS. Margaret Dobrowolska, the Rev. John Cardinal O'Hara, C.S.C., Professor of Physics, and Jacek Furdyna, Aurora and Thomas Marquez Professor of Information Theory and Computer Technology and professor of physics, are among the College of Science faculty members recently named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in honor of their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications. More. APPLICATION PROCESS NOW OPEN FOR NDnano's SUMMER UNDERGRAD RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS. The Center for Nano Science and Technology at Notre Dame is now taking applications for its 2012 NDnano Undergraduate Research Fellowship (NURF) program. Students from any college or university are welcome to apply for the 10-week, $5,000 fellowships. Apply by February 10. FAQ NDnano DIRECTOR TO HELP REVIEW U.S. NATIONAL NANOTECHNOLOGY EFFORTS. University of Notre Dame professor Wolfgang Porod has been invited to serve on the committee conducting a comprehensive strategic review of the U.S. government's National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The NNI encompasses the nanotechnology-related activities of 25 Federal agencies and coordinates a portfolio of basic and applied research activities focused on advancing the economic and national security interests of the United States.

A team of researchers at the University of Notre Dame has created an inexpensive "solar paint" that uses semiconducting nanoparticles to produce energy. More. NOTRE DAME AND DOE COLLABORATION ENABLES DEVELOPMENT OF UNIQUE SPECTROMETER. A new, state-of-the-art instrument installed in the Radiation Laboratory will support a wide range of research at the University of Notre Dame. The AP-XPS (ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectrometer) was designed by Franklin Tao, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry, in collaboration with the manufacturer. The instrument uses monochromated Al Kα instead of synchrotron radiation as an X-ray source. It is the first high-pressure reaction-cell type in-house AP-XPS to be built. More. NDnano's 2011 UNDERGRAD RESEARCH FELLOWS PUBLISH SUMMER PROJECT SUMMARIES. The 32 recipients of the 2011 NDnano Undergraduate Research Fellowship (NURF) share their summer research recaps. More. Check back in mid-January for 2012 NURF application information.
