Small, smaller, Nano

Nanotechnologies form the basis for the key technologies of the 21st century. As they do this, basic research findings have to be converted into applications and products. The Cluster of Excellence aims to contribute to developing such nanostructures with a specific function. The Cluster?s partners look forward to economic and social effects of the kind that were achieved in Silicon Valley, USA. The Rhine Valley is to become ?Nano Valley?.
