Students Scan the Very Small
An interactive exhibit designed to teach elementary and middle school students about nanotechnology is on display in the Birck center. The exhibit has been at the Children's Museum of Oak Ridge in Tennessee.
Welcome
The Institute for Nanoelectronics and Computing (INaC), founded in 2002 and centered at Purdue University, is one of seven University Research, Engineering, and Technology Institutes created by NASA. Working in the field of nanoelectronics, the INAC seeks to lay the foundation for a new class of heterogeneous, integrated systems for computation and sensing, possessing the system intelligence, adaptability, and fault tolerance to enable future NASA missions.
The Institute's goals are to
- Invent new devices for computation and sensing
- Develop techniques to assemble them into ultradense systems integrated with a silicon platform,
- Devise new system architectures that harness these heterogeneous technologies for NASA missions, and
- Train the next generation of scientists and engineers.

Birck and Discovery Park
At Purdue Univeristy, researchers are investigating some of the most intriguing and significant problems: those in the emerging, highly interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology.
The Birck Nanotechnology Center was built in Purdue University's Discovery Park to create an environment where the exciting scientific dicoveries and projects can flourish through shared talk, shared work, and shared innovation.
