Director's Message
"Nanoscience involves the understanding of physical phenomena at the atomic and molecular level. Nanotechnology involves controlling and manipulating nanoscale phenomena to produce useful products. Turning the promise of nanoscience into new technologies is the challenge that Purdue has set for itself."
