NC State is leading the way to new advancements in the dynamic world of nanotechnology – one atom at a time.

At NC State, our students get pumped up about the little things, like exploring the unique properties of materials that look microscopic, even on the head of a pin.

Their cutting-edge research efforts cross disciplines, departments and majors and help make big ideas happen on our campus.

From those majoring in chemistry, biology, and veterinary medicine to students with an interest in the humanities and social sciences, NC State students work side-by-side with some of the brightest minds in the industry, all who operate their businesses right here on our campus.

“We want to think about the science and our strategic approach to research as a system rather than as individual projects," said Dr. Gregory Parsons, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at NC State. "We want to expand our team-building and encourage more interdisciplinary nanotechnology work so we can advance knowledge, educate well-prepared graduates, and improve economic opportunities for people in North Carolina."

By breaking everything down to the smallest level, we’re actually building toward big results for the future. Come along – there’s room at the table for you as well.
