Constellations

The traditional departmental structure at CNSE is tailored into constellation "think-tanks" that encourage and stimulate cross-disciplinary educational curricula and research programs. There are four such think-tanks. Nanoscience refers to the observation, identification, description, discovery, experimental investigation, and theoretical interpretation of nanoscale phenomena. Nanoengineering is the application of nanoscience principles to practical ends, such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and functional structures, machines, processes, and systems on the atomic scale. Nanobioscience refers to the application of nanoscale scientific concepts and principles to the study of biological and biomedical structures and systems. Nanoeconomics is the formulation, study, and analysis of the economic and business principles underlying the development and deployment of nanoscale know-how, products, and systems.
