ALBANY, NY – The SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) unveiled plans for its sixth annual celebration of NANOvember, highlighted by a statewide outreach effort that will share the world of nanoscale education and research – as well as its educational and economic opportunities – with thousands of New Yorkers in locations across the state.
NANOvember began with CNSE Community Day on Saturday, November 2, which for the first time featured Open House programs in three CNSE locations. In Albany, visitors at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex experienced hands-on activities, engaging demonstrations, and guided tours of NanoFab Xtension (NFX), headquarters of the Global 450mm Consortium (G450C). In Utica, participants toured the CNSE-SUNYIT Computer Chip Commercialization Center (Quad-C) under construction at SUNYIT, part of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s “Nano Utica” initiative, and learned about efforts to develop the Marcy Nanocenter site. And, CNSE’s Smart System Technology and Commercialization Center of Excellence (STC) in Rochester demonstrated its cutting-edge MEMS capabilities through displays, facility tours, interactive presentations and hands-on children’s activities.
