Vanderbilt to Lead Army Nanotech Program
From Nanotech Planet:
The Vanderbilt School of Engineering will lead a new $2.4 million multi-institutional nanotechnology program funded by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to develop radically improved electronics, sensors, energy-conversion devices, and other critical defense systems.
Called the Advanced Carbon Nanotechnology Research Program, it will explore various nanostructures of carbon, including diamond, at the molecular level to develop next-generation materials that can be used in a wide range of defense devices and systems. The Army Research Laboratory funds will support the program's first year of operation.
