National Institute for Nanotechnology

The National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT) is a research center that focuses on the science of very tiny materials, called nanomaterials, which are a few atoms or molecules thick. These materials can have unique properties, such as increased strength or better electrical conductivity, leading to innovative applications in medicine, electronics, energy, and environmental protection. NINT brings together scientists, engineers, and industry partners to develop new technologies and solutions at the nanoscale, helping to advance scientific knowledge and create new opportunities for economic growth and societal benefit.
