A Madison-based research hub devoted to evaluating the environmental effect of nanotechnology has received $20 million in National Science Foundation funding over the next five years.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the host institution for the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology, led by Robert Hamers, a chemistry professor at UW-Madison whose research has helped spawn a spinoff company focusing on building more powerful and more stable batteries for hybrid cars and electric vehicles.
