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.

NDnano UNDERGRAD RESEARCHERS RECAP SUMMER PROJECTS. In 2012, NDnano awarded undergraduate research fellowships (NURF) to 47 students, including five students who returned to the program for a second year. The students have each prepared a summary of their research project, including skills they acquired or publications/posters that resulted from their project. More. NANOTECHNOLOGY COMPETITION BRINGS TOP UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHERS FROM ACROSS U.S. TO NOTRE DAME. Elisabeth Bianco, a senior chemistry major at Ohio State University, received the $3,000 first place award at the second annual Notre Dame Competition in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, and Campus Tour (NDConnect). Bianco won for her exploration of the properties of a one-atom-thick layer of the semiconductor germanium, which she synthesized for the first time and then characterized. More. NOTRE DAME, PURDUE PHYSICISTS CREATE NOVEL NANOSTRUCTURE THAT HAS PROMISE FOR QUANTUM COMPUTATION. University of Notre Dame physicists Jacek Furdyna, the Aurora and Thomas Marquez Chair in Information Theory and Computer Technology; and Xinyu Liu, research assistant professor, have collaborated with Purdue physicist Leonid Rokhinson on constructing a novel nanostructure that has allowed them to observe a long-sought-after particle referred to as Majorana fermion. The existence of this particle was predicted by Ettore Majorana in the 1930s, but until now has eluded observation. More. PAPER-BASED COUNTERFEIT DRUG TESTING GAINS ATTENTION. Marya Lieberman, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame, has collaborated with faculty and students to demonstrate advances in paper analytical devices (PADs) to test for counterfeit drugs. The promising low-tech solution has received broad attention in the scientific community. More JENA RECEIVES 2012 ISCS YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARD. Debdeep Jena, associate professor of electrical engineering, has been named recipient of the 2012 International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors "Young Scientist Award" for his "fundamental contributions to the understanding of transport in nitrides and two-dimensional crystals for high performance transistors." Jena was recognized for the honor at an awards ceremony during Compound Semiconductor Week in Santa Barbara, Calif., in August. More
