National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI)
For National Nanotechnology Day, NNCI will host its annual Plenty of Beauty at the Bottom image contest. Referencing Richard Feynman’s 1959 lecture, "There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom," this image contest celebrates the beauty of the micro and nanoscale. Sites from across the NNCI will contribute stunning, unique, and whimsical images of the micro and nanoscale for the 2022 image contest, and public votes will determine this year’s winners. Details are available at: https://nnci.net/plenty-beauty-bottom .
Northwestern University's Atomic and Nanoscale Characterization Experimental (NUANCE) Center, part of the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI)
For National Nanotechnology Day, NUANCE Center will host its annual NUANCE Fest on Oct. 7, 2022: https://sites.northwestern.edu/nuancefest/ .
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia - Singh Center for Nanotechnology, part of the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI)
