The Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The National Nanotechnology initiative describes this new science as "the study and design of systems at the nanoscale, the scale of an atom. It is concerned with materials and systems whose structures anc components exhibit novel and significantly improved physical, chemical, and biological properties– due to their nanoscale size."

The Image of Research is a multidisciplinary competition celebrating the diversity and breadth of graduate student research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Graduate and professional students are invited to submit entries consisting of an image and brief text that articulates how the image relates to the research. Entries will be judged by a multidisciplinary panel for:
Connection between image, text, and research
Originality
Visual Impact
All images submitted will be included in an online exhibit hosted by the University Library and are archived for long term preservation in IDEALS.
The Image of Research is organized by the Scholarly Commons of the University Library and the Graduate College and is supported by a generous gift to the Scholarly Commons from the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics. Image of Research at Illinois was inspired by the Image of Research competition at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Winners for the Image of Research 2016 have been announced!

Announcement
Internship Opportunity with the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for 5 hours per week (flexible) in spring 2017.http://nano.illinois.edu/CNST_Internship_Announcement_2017.pdf
Some of the areas associated with this internship would include: document generation, website updating, web-based research, assistance in scientific events, and more. This would be primary office-based work, located in the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory.
In addition to providing valuable experience in a professional and academic environment, this internship would allow one to make scientific/engineering connections and identify research opportunities through multiple networking opportunities with faculty and graduate students/postdoctoral researchers.
Please contact Carrie Kouadio ([email protected]) if you have any questions.
