'Nanotechnology': Seeing big things in small packages
Abstract:
(This is the second installment of a three-part series looking at efforts by the town of Alabama and Genesee County Economic Development Center to put a Science and Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park in the town.)
A nanometer is not a piece of test equipment, as one Alabama resident thought, until visiting the University of Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering last week.
The contingent of Genesee County residents and officials who visited Albany and Saratoga Springs agree what they learned was mind-boggling.
The group, all with an interest in the proposed advanced technology and science park proposed for the town of Alabama, toured the new state-of-the-art College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, the first and only college in the world dedicated to research, development, education and deployment in the emerging disciplines of nanoscience, nanoengineering, nanobioscience and nanoeconomics.
