National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN)

The National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) was a collaborative initiative in the United States that aimed to promote research and development in nanotechnology—manipulating matter on an incredibly small scale, typically at the level of atoms and molecules. It provided researchers with access to specialized facilities, tools, and expertise necessary for exploring nanotechnology's potential applications in various fields, including medicine, energy, and materials science. By fostering collaboration among universities, industry, and government, NNIN facilitated innovation and advancement in nanotechnology, helping to drive scientific discovery and technological progress.
