NSF Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing

The Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN) is focused on developing tools and processes that will make it possible for businesses to quickly and efficiently manufacture products. For many nanoproducts currently under development, the technology only allows us to laboriously make a limited range of products. Busnaina keynote speaker at the 2017 Graphene Innovation Summit. The transfer of nanoscience into useful technology cannot be realized until experts understand how best to assemble and connect trillions of nanoelements, while also preventing failures and avoiding defects. The CHN’s Education program builds on a strong existing network of partnerships among industry, universities, and teachers and students to deliver the much-needed public education on many aspects of nanomanufacturing. How can we mass-produce sophisticated products from materials too small to see? “From Lab to Fab” follows the story of two nanotech entrepreneurs navigating the rocky road from discovery to commercialization, with products ranging from tiny implantable body sensors to bullet-proof vests and aircraft flooring.
