The Center
The Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering, popularly known as "Nano", houses the Stanford Nano Center shared facilities (SNC), the Edward L. Ginzton independent laboratory, and the offices of the Department of Applied Physics. With a total of approximately 100,000 square feet, the CNST began construction in early 2008 and opened in Fall 2009. It is an integral part of Stanford's Science and Engineering Quad (SEQ), which also includes the Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center, the Jerry Yang and Akiko Yamazaki Environment and Energy Building, and the Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering building (in planning).
The Shared Labs
“Shared facilities that offer access to state of the art scientific instruments are an essential resource for Stanford’s faculty and students, “ says Ann Arvin, Vice Provost and Dean of Research. “ Enhancing our capacity to do science at the nanoscale in the new SNC facility has the broadest possible relevance across all of the disciplines -from physics to biology and medicine. Having these remarkable research tools and highly skilled research scientists to guide their use is certain to create scientific advances and insights that we cannot begin to predict."
