Materials science and nanotechnology researchers at UNL are getting some much-needed equipment that will help enhance and expedite their studies. UNL’s Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience received a $1.3 million grant from the National Science Foundation to purchase a state-of-the-art transmission electron microscope. This Major Research Instrumentation grant is funded by the American Recovery […]

UNL has received $6.9 million of federal stimulus funding from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to help fund construction of a new nanoscience research facility. The grant will cover half the $13.8 million cost to construct the Nanoscience Metrology Facility. It will be adjacent to the north end of the new Physical Sciences […]

UNL nanoscientists have received a prestigious grant to develop new magnetic materials that could help reduce global warming and the nation’s dependence on foreign resources. Researchers in UNL’s Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience, who are nationally known experts in magnetic nanotechnology, are part of a collaboration led by the University of Delaware to develop […]
