A resource for nanoscience and technology, the nanoHUB was created by the NSF-funded Network for Computational Nanotechnology.
The nanoHUB is a rich, web-based resource for research, education and collaboration in nanotechnology. The nanoHUB hosts over 1600 resources which will help you learn about nanotechnology, including Online Presentations, Courses, Learning Modules, Podcasts, Animations, Teaching Materials, and more. Most importantly, the nanoHUB offers simulation tools which you can access from your web browser, so you can not only learn about but also simulate nanotechnology devices. The nanoHUB also provides collaboration environment via Workspaces, Online meetings and User groups.
Resources come from over 600 contributors in the nanoscience community, and are used by thousands of users from over 170 countries around the world. Most of our users come from academic institutions and use nanoHUB as part of their research and educational activities.
The IEEE Nanotechnology Council is a multi-disciplinary group whose purpose is to advance and coordinate work in the field of Nanotechnology carried out throughout the IEEE in scientific, literary and educational areas. The Council supports the theory, design, and development of nanotechnology and its scientific, engineering, and industrial applications.
We also have access to their publications through our IEEE Xplore database.
These include: IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology, IEEE Tranasactions on NanoBioscience and IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine.

A collaboration between the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute (DNI) and the A.J. Drexel Plasma Institute (DPI) has enabled high-impact research results, published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition. The paper, “Nanoscale Corona Discharge in Liquids Enabling Nanosecond Optical Emission Spectroscopy” has been selected as a VIP (very important paper). Only 5% of all manuscripts submitted to this journal receive this honor.

“A company started to commercialize technology developed at Drexel University has gotten funding, a new CEO and its first contract, making it a potential model for companies spinning out of colleges and universities.
Y-Carbon Inc. got $500,000 from three sources: the Nanotechnology Institute; the Pennsylvania NanoMaterials Commercialization Center, a consortium of four Pittsburgh-area companies; and a subcontract from the Baltimore-based Advanced Technologies unit of British defense giant BAE Systems for work funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
“[Y-Carbon Inc.] will be able to solve a large number of energy, environmental and health problems … that don’t have a good solution at the moment,” said Yury Gogotsi, who led the team that developed Y-Carbon’s technology and is the company’s founder and chief science officer.”
