NIST and University at Albany’s College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on developing nanoscale measurement tools and standards. The partnership aims to create ever-smaller computer chips that perform tasks more quickly and reduce power consumption for electronic devices.
Key points:
– NIST and CNSE will establish policies and procedures for cooperation in nanotechnology
– The collaboration will focus on developing nanoscale measurement tools and standards
– The partnership will help advance innovations in nanoscale measurement science
– NIST’s Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology will lead the scientific collaboration efforts with CNSE
The partnership follows the creation of the New York Center for National Competitiveness in Nanoscale Characterization (NC3) at CNSE, which aims to strengthen relationships between nanotech R&D, manufacturing and commercialization.
