Basking in the glow of brilliant minds
Abstract:
It's no secret that the nanotechnology sector in our region is growing. A little more than a decade ago, the site that now houses CNSE's $5 billion Albany NanoTech Complex was an empty field across the street from the university's main campus. It is now a thriving megaplex that employs more than 2,500 people. Recent news reports have been following the development of the GlobalFoundries computer chip fabrication plant in Malta - a project that adds another component to the growing nanotechnology economy fueling the Capital Region and New York State. It is no wonder that President Obama acknowledged the unprecedented growth of upstate New York's nanotechnology sector during his recent visit to our region.
