The Miami University Center for Nanotechnology (MUCN)
is an interdisciplinary collaboration dedicated to the
education, research,
safety, and
commercialization issues
of nanotechnology. The unique phenomena exhibited by
materials in the nanodomain opens new frontiers in basic
and applied research that are revolutionary in nature. That
is why MUCN says Nano is Really HUGE.
MUCN is set-up to:
- Train interdisciplinary scientific and engineering
professionals that are well grounded in the basic
physical/biological sciences and engineering.
- Perform collaborative, interdisciplinary basic research
in various areas of nanotechnology.
- Establish joint development collaborations for applied
nanotechnology through alliances with industry and
government laboratories.
- Focus applied research toward the safe and efficient
commercialization of nanotechnology opportunities.
- Provide nanotechnology exhibits, talks and workshops to
promote nanotechnology to K-12 students and teachers
and the community at-large.
