About CNS
The Center for Nanoscale
Systems in Information Technology was established at Cornell in
2001 by the National Science Foundation as one of 6 interdisciplinary
Nanoscale Science and Engineering Centers (NSEC’s) to address
the existing challenges and opportunities that are to be found
in nanotechnology research and development. The Center for Nanoscale
Systems is supported by NYSTAR the New York State Office of Science,
Technology & Academic Research.
Cornell’s Center for Nanoscale Systems is positioned to
be a major leadership component of the overall Federal effort
collectively known as the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI).
The Center for Nanoscale Systems is one of several complementary
and synergistic nanotechnology initiatives and national collaborations
at Cornell University:
• Cornell Nanoscale
Science and Technology Facility (CNF)
• Nanobiotechnology
Center (NBTC)
• Cornell Center for
Materials Research (CCMR)
• National Nanotechnology
Infrastructure Network (NNIN)
