NNI User Facilities Across The United States

The NNI’s network of user facilities provides scientific capabilities—equipment and expertise—to students and academic, government, and industry researchers at little to no cost. Use the filters to select which capabilities, access model, and/or state(s) would meet your research needs and apply the filters to update the list. Each user facility has its own webpage linked; explore its webpage and reach out to them.

Note: This list of shared infrastructure was compiled by the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office, and is intended to be comprehensive of nanotechnology facilities funded by NNI participating agencies, but it is possible that some facilities might not have been included. Readers are encouraged to look for additional information about these facilities, as needed.


*There are some situations such as proprietary work that change the access model.
†Many NNI shared infrastructure facilities offer remote access, contact the facility to find out more.
