Abstract:
Texas Nanotech Pioneer Outshines Larger Peers In "Small Times" Survey
Magazine Ranks Rice Among Top Nano Schools
Houston, TX | Posted on May 25, 2006
Small Times magazine, the leading trade magazine for
the burgeoning nanotechnology industry, has ranked Rice University's
nanotechnology programs fourth best overall based on a survey of 50 of the
nation's leading research universities.
Rice placed among the top 10 in six out of seven survey categories that
specifically relate to nanotechnology, besting much larger peer institutions
like Northwestern University, Cornell University, the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Purdue University and the University of Texas at
Austin in various categories.
"The recognition of the strength of Rice's programs, both from our peers and
from the editors of Small Times, is a clear indication that Rice's small
size is anything but a hindrance when it comes to nanoscale science," said
Wade Adams, director of Rice's Richard E. Smalley Institute of Nanoscale
Science and Technology. "Rice's close-knit faculty, interdisciplinary
culture and innovative equipment-sharing programs offer unique advantages to
researchers in cross-disciplinary fields like nanotechnology."
In preparing its rankings, Small Times surveyed leading research
institutions about their research, education, facilities, industrial
outreach and commercialization activities.
