New academic Centers with nano orientation

from the put-Nano-in-your-name-&-get-funded dept.
"New Hubs for Nano" by Alexandra Stikeman (Technology Review, Dec 2001) lists six new academic Centers for various flavors of nanotechnology. Some of them sound intriguing, e.g. RPI's Center for Directed Assembly of Nanostructures, whose director is quoted: "Lots of people can now make nanoscale building blocks. The question is how do you assemble them to create new materials and novel devices that you can control and manipulate." Time will tell whether they live up to these sexy nano-names.
