Together, the U.S. and Japan account for 57% of world-wide
nanotechnology R&D spending, with Japan slightly outspending
the U.S.
It is, therefore, critical to continued U.S. leadership in frontier
nanoscale science that young American scientists and engineers build
networks of peers with Japanese researchers in this area. Led by Dr.
Jun Kono, this project offers an integrated approach to research and
education in nanotechnology. The fundamental research broadly covers
the the following three topics: nanoscale semiconductor devices,
nanophotonics and carbon nanotubes. On the education side, a newly
established undergraduate overseas study program, called NanoJapan,
provides 16 undergraduate students per year with cultural and
language immersion and allows them to perform summer research
internships at Japanese labs, where they will work directly on these
three research topics. This session will provide overviews of both
the research and education activities that are part of this project.
