The six new national Nanoscale Science and Engineering Centers (NSECs) established by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) in September 2001 have begun establishing their presence on the web. For more information about the research programs at the centers, visit the websites:
- Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) at Rice University (http://cnst.rice.edu/cben/)
- Center for Electronic Transport in Molecular Nanostructures at Columbia University (http://www.cise.columbia.edu/nsec/)
- Center for Integrated Nanopatterning and Detection Technologies at Northwestern University (http://www.nsec.northwestern.edu/)
- Center for Nanoscale Systems in Information Technologies at Cornel University (http://www.cns.cornell.edu/)
- Center for Science of Nanoscale Systems and their Device Applications at Harvard University (http://www.nsec.harvard.edu/)
- Center for Directed Assembly of Nanostructures at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (no website yet)
