National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT)

The National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT) is a research facility in Canada dedicated to the study and application of nanotechnology, which involves manipulating matter at an incredibly small scale—about 1 to 100 nanometers. This scale is where unique properties can emerge, allowing scientists to develop new materials and technologies with potential applications in medicine, electronics, and energy. NINT collaborates with universities, industry, and government to advance knowledge in this field, foster innovation, and support the commercialization of nanotechnology to improve everyday life and solve complex challenges.
