JSNN Outline Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering • Background • Strategy • Status • Summary Summary

JSNN Background Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering • Nanotechnology offers “game changing” potential. - A convergent technology with tremendous economic growth potential economic growth potential - Lux Research estimates a $2.6T impact on the world’s economy by 2014 • The scientific meaning of “nano” is one billionth. - A nanometer is the dimensional scale of atomic or molecular clusters (one billionth of a meter) - Nanotechnology is the science & engineering know how to manipulate atoms and molecules to know how to manipulate atoms and molecules to form systems with customized properties and functions. • Enabling for E bli f - Product innovation - New device types - New fabrication techniques

What is small? JSNN Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering • “Nano” in Pop Culture is in the eye of the beholder Hummer “nano” H3 iPod “nano-chromatic” “Nanobama” (Hart, Tawfick, DeVolder & Walker, U. Michigan, 2008) • What is considered small in science has been constantly changing AFM SEM TEM 1600 1600 1700 1700 1800 1800 1900 1900 2000 2000 Optical Photo of Cork Bark Spirogyra TEM Polio Virus (30 – 230 nm) Comp.

JSNN Strategy Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering “Pair up in threes” JSNN JSNN Triad Community

JSNN JSNN Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering • The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) was created by UNCG and NC A&T with the support of the University of North Carolina system, the North Carolina General Assembly and the Greensboro/Triad community. Initial funding includes: – $50M for construction of the JSNN building – $8.0M for capital equipment • JSNN’s goal is to be a world leader in research and nano-related education. – Develop research strengths in interdisciplinary areas focused on nanobio – Achieve economic growth for the Triad through joint investment and co-location with NC, National and International company partners

Initial funding includes: Ge e a sse b y a d e G ee sbo o/ ad co u y a u d g c udes – $50M for construction of the JSNN building – $8.0M for capital equipment • JSNN’s goal is to be a world leader in research and nano-related education. – Develop research strengths in interdisciplinary areas focused on nanobio – Achieve economic growth for the Triad through joint investment and co-location with NC, National and International company partners • Initial focus has been in four areas – Curriculum – JSNN Facility – Hiring – Outreach and Engagement

JSNN JSNN Status Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering • Curriculum – Two degree programs planned • Professional Master of Science in Nanoscience • Ph.D. in Nanoscience – Request to Establish Proposals have been reviewed and approved by UNCG and NC A&T and Request to Establish Proposals have been reviewed and approved by UNCG and NC A&T and submitted to UNC General Administration for approval • JSNN Facility – ~88,000 sq. ft. facility planned for Gateway South Campus – – Programming activity completed design phase initiated Programming activity completed, design phase initiated – Laboratories, specialized facilities, offices, classrooms and partner space are planned – Current projected completion date is mid-year 2011 (working to pull in completion date)

JSNN Research Facility JSNN Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering • The JSNN research facilities should be industrial quality and enable the diverse research activities of the faculty and partners. The programming plan for the facility includes: – Laboratories Laboratories • Nanobiology • Nanobiochemistry and Nutrition • Nanobiophysics and Nanobiomedical Engineering – Facilities with specialized requirements • Nanoelectronic and Bioelectronic Cleanrooms • Materials Characterization (Microscopy Suite, NMR Room, Nanomaterials Characterization) • BSL3 Laboratory • Nanofabrication facility including (Nanoparticle Synthesis, Nanofiber Characterization, Nanocomposite Structure Fabrication Facility) – Options for small specialized (potentially proprietary) facilities • Plant research • Environmental • Energy • Other Engineering
