Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials

Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials comprise some of the most cutting-edge research on Centennial Campus.

NC State researchers are literally pushing the scientific envelope to see how far and, more importantly, how small they can go to find solutions to big problems. Nano-textiles. Antimicrobial coatings. Thin-film sensors and smart structures. These thrust areas and numerous others on campus lend credence to NC State University’s claim to being a nanotechnology and advanced materials research powerhouse as part of the nanotechnology initiatives.

Centennial Campus has a number of NC State programs, facilities and institutes dedicated to the study of nanotechnology and advanced materials.
