Nanotechnology Research Themes
At NC State, faculty across campus are investigating the unique properties of materials at the nanometer—a minute scale that is one-billionth of a meter. These cutting-edge research efforts, crossing the boundaries of traditional disciplines, engage faculty in departments throughout the university—chemistry, physics, engineering, textiles, education, agriculture, management, veterinary medicine, and social sciences.
