Summer interns share cutting-edge nanotechnology-based research

(Nanowerk News) Students who took part in the largest-ever Summer Internship Program class at the newly merged SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) / SUNY Institute of Technology (SUNYIT) shared their advanced, nanotechnology-related research at a public poster presentation on Friday, August 8.

The 10-week CNSE summer internship program offered students the ability to engage in hands-on, cutting-edge research in state-of-the-art facilities located at the $20 billion Albany NanoTech Complex. Program participants presented their research findings on topics ranging from self-assembling biological systems to resistive memory devices that enable memory capabilities which can mimic the human brain, for example.

Chosen from more than 150 applicants, students who took part in this prestigious program represented a variety of academic backgrounds and came from a number of SUNY schools, including SUNY CNSE/SUNYIT, Binghamton University, Hudson Valley Community College, the University at Albany, the University at Buffalo, and Stony Brook University. Other participants currently attend colleges and universities that include Cornell University, Harvard College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Rochester Institute of Technology, and Tufts University.
