in-house research team, also in the build-up
phase, blends many types of specialized expertise. It
will consist of physicists, chemists, materials scientists,
electrical and mechanical engineers, biologists, theorists,
and computer scientists. The composition of the staff
will reflect the diversity of nanotechnology pursuits,
from basic science to applications in medicine, energy,
pollution control, defense, construction, quantum computing,
and nearly every other area of technology.
Long-term partnerships focused on solving major measurement-related
obstacles will be a hallmark of the research effort. Through
, nanotechnology researchers in businesses, at universities,
and at other government agencies also will have a portal
to the more than 100 nanotechnology projects under way
at , the federal governments lead laboratory for
work on nanoscale measurements and standards. The center
also will help to coordinate access to vast wealth of
advanced measurement capabilities http://www.gigp.com
