The Northrop Rice
Nanotechnology Center

The Northrop Rice Nanotechnology Center, in cooperation with the Business and Education Communities, is an open education and research system for the benefit of the business, education and engineering communities. Its focus is the application and use of nanotechnology and integrating it into products that are being manufactured today. Also, the Center investigates post nanotechnology, that is, the pico scale. The understanding of these scales will lead the way in tomorrow’s product strategy solution.

The Northrop Rice Nanotechnology Center works in collaboration with institutions and agencies for the purposes of economic development and workforce education. In cooperation with NANOWorld®, the Center developed and offers a Community Outreach educational program, “Essentials in Understanding and Managing Nanotechnology”. The Northrop Rice Nanotechnology Center, in association with NANOWorld® and its website, is actively involved in e-learning, conferences and seminars as well as information exchange program.

The Center’s research activities investigate nanotechnology that is being undertaken worldwide. Coupled with locating and identifying companies that are applying nanoscale technology, the research includes the participation of business and engineering students. As an open education research system, the Center shares its results and discoveries, and advocates collaboration in all of its activities.
