Nanotechnology Research – Laboratories

The Advanced Materials Research Center (AMRC) is a industry-driven virtual R&D center focused on the commercialization of advanced technologies. The center is a collaboration between the State of Texas, SEMATECH, and the state's research universities.

Invests in basic research efforts for the Air Force in relevant scientific areas.

The AFRL ML develops materials, processes, and advanced manufacturing technologies for aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, rockets, and ground-based systems and their structural, electronic and optical components.

Research includes nanocomposites and nanostructures.

The CNM's mission includes supporting basic research and the development of advanced instrumentation that will help generate new scientific insights and create new materials with novel properties.

The research facility of the US Army.

The research arm of Lucent-Alcatel conducts nanotechnology rseaerch such as for instance nanostructured surfaces.

The Molecular Foundry at Berkeley Lab is a user facility for the design, synthesis and characterization of nanoscale materials.

BSAC is the National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Microsensors and Microactuators, conducting industry-relevant, interdisciplinary research on micro- and nano-scale sensors, moving mechanical elements, microfluidics, materials, and processes that take advantage of progress made in integrated-circuit, bio, and polymer technologies.

Boeing Phantom Works is the advanced research and development unit at Boeing and the catalyst of innovation for the Boeing enterprise. For instance, they are working to create an entirely new class of nanostructured aluminum alloys. These lab-produced materials deliver titanium's strength - over a wide temperature range - in a much lighter material.
