Materials Research Society
The Materials Research Society is a not-for-profit organization which brings together scientists, engineers and research managers from industry, government, academia and research laboratories to share findings in the research and development of new materials of technological importance. Founded in 1973, MRS now consists of more than 12,600 members from the United States -- as well as over 50 other countries.

Texas Institute for Intelligent Bio-Nano Materials and Structures for Aerospace Vehicles
NASA has chosen Texas A&M University to lead the Texas Institute of Intelligent Bio-Nano Materials and Structures for Aerospace Vehicles (TiiMS), bringing together some of the top researchers in Texas and the world — including a Nobel laureate and several members of the National Academies — in biotechnology, nanotechnology, biomaterials and aerospace engineering to develop the next generation of bio-nano materials and structures for aerospace vehicles.

Center for Advanced Materials Research, Brown University
The Center for Advanced Materials Research is an independent academic unit at Brown University, whose goal is to coordinate and facilitate research and education in materials, as well as to foster inter-institutional scholarship and study of modern materials by advanced experimental and theoretical tools.

Cornell Center for Materials Research, Cornell University
The mission of CCMR is to advance, explore and exploit the forefront of the science and engineering of advanced materials. The unifying theme of our current research is the study of materials purposefully structured at the nanoscale (near atomic dimensions). Our aim is to be world leaders in the design, control and understanding of the behavior of both crystalline and disordered nano-materials.

Materials Research Science and Engineering Center
The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at the Johns Hopkins University is composed of scientists at JHU, Brown University, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Research in the Center focuses on nanostructures made from novel materials that exhibit enhanced magneto-electronic properties.

NANOCOM, Scottish Centre for Nanotechnology in Construction Materials
Scottish Centre for Nanotechnology in Construction Materials was established under the auspices of the Advanced Concrete and Masonry Centre (ACM Centre). The NANOCOM centre aims to act as a centre of excellence in Scotland for application and exploitation of recent advances in nanotechnology to enhance fundamental knowledge and practical performance of both basic and new construction materials.

IoN (Institute of Nanotechnology), University of Sterling
Founded in 1997, the Institute of Nanotechnology (IoN) was one of the world's first nanotechnology information providers, and is now a world leader. The IoN leads the European network of networks, Nanoforum (www.nanoforum.org) as well as working closely with governments, universities, researchers and companies worldwide on micro and nanotechnology.

National Centre for Nano Scale Science at Universität Basel, Switzerland
“Nanoscale Science” as a National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) is a long-term interdisciplinary research effort focusing on nanoscale structures and aiming to provide new impact and ideas for the life sciences, for the sustainable use of resources, and for information and communications technologies.

DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures, Universität Karlsruhe, Germany
The CFN (Center for Functional Nanostructures), located at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) and the Deutsche Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH (German Research Center Karlsruhe), is an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to fundamental and applied research in some of the most fascinating fields in nanotechnology.
