Nanotechnology Small Times magazine ranks New York as the fourth hottest state for nanotechnology – the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules to develop infinitely smaller computer chips and electronic devices – based on its “vast research capabilities.”   The University at Albany’s College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are leading the way in this research while Albany Nanotech has billions of dollars in state and industry support. CNSE is the first college in the world devoted exclusively to nanoscale science and recently ranked as the best school in the world for nanotechnology and microtechnology. Nearly two thousand researchers, engineers and technicians – from companies like AMD, AMSL, Applied Materials, Honeywell, IBM, Tokyo Electron and many others – work at Albany Nanotech.   RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Rudolph, SEMATECH Extend Collaboration Atotech and Sematech Partner at NanoCollege NanoFab East Expansion Officially Opens Fitter Frames: Nanotubes Boost Structural Integrity of Composites Vistec Gets Major Order for Electron-beam Lithography System No Small Measure: Origins of Nanorod Diameter Discovered Slimmer, Stickier Nanorods Give Boost to 3-D Computer Chips C9 Corp Moves HQ, Manufacturing to STEP GlobalFoundries to Run New Chip Fab Plant SEMATECH and Asahi Glass Form Partnership Nanotech organizations profiled on the Technology Roadmap >
