Research on the nano-scale holds significant promise for developing new complex materials with novel, controllable properties. These materials can be used to fabricate electronic, optical, fluidic, and other micro-scale devices or structures that can be integrated into functional systems. The SOE has partnerships within UNM, including the College of Arts and Sciences, Anderson Schools of Management, and the School of Medicine, as well as Sandia and Los Alamos NationalLlaboratories and their joint DOE Center for Integrated Nanoscience and Technology (CINT).
