This Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC) is a comprehensive research and education platform that will stimulate U.S. competitiveness by moving nanotechnology from laboratory innovation to manufacturable nanostructured components and devices. The Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing builds on recognized excellence in nanoscience and technology at UMass and a world-class program in polymer research to yield complete specification of nanostructures combining directed self-assembly and imprinting with subsequent transfer of 2-D and 3-D structures, and advanced deposition techniques, into active components, functional materials, and fully-integrated devices. Bottom-up processes will be seamlessly integrated with conventional fabrication methods for dramatic advances in semiconductor devices, microelectronics, biomedical applications, and other areas. In addition, the Center offers a new strategic model to bridge the innovation-to-implementation gap through test beds that combine leading breakthrough technology, professional market analysis, industrial-scale fabrication processes, and facilitated technology transfer.The impact of this Center is strengthened through strong collaborators including leading R&D consultant TIAX and prototyping partner Lucent Technologies will allow the Center to drive concepts to commercialization. Students educated in this environment will be well prepared for careers that partner innovation with implementation. The Center initiates a National Nanomanufacturing Network (NNN)--a catalyst for U.S. nanomanufacturing-based economic development, a network of shared manufacturing facilities, a dynamic web-based information clearinghouse, and a pathway for university-industry-government partnerships. The NNN will integrate and amplify the impact of all NSECs and the nanomanufacturing research community. The Center will address a national need by creating and disseminating research-based multimedia instructional materials to stimulate and educate audiences ranging from K-12 students and teachers, community college learners, and the public. A strong societal implications program includes national workshops and survey studies. The Center's efforts are leveraged by strong commitments from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

这个纳米科学与工程中心（NSEC）是一个综合性的研究和教育平台，将通过将纳米技术从实验室创新转移到可制造的纳米结构组件和设备来刺激美国的竞争力。 分层制造中心建立在麻省大学公认的纳米科学和技术的卓越性以及世界级的聚合物研究计划的基础上，以产生完整的纳米结构规范，将定向自组装和压印与随后的2-D和3-D结构转移以及先进的沉积技术相结合，成为活性组件，功能材料和完全集成的设备。 自下而上的工艺将与传统的制造方法无缝集成，以实现半导体器件、微电子、生物医学应用和其他领域的巨大进步。 此外，该中心还提供了一个新的战略模式，通过联合收割机领先的突破性技术、专业的市场分析、工业规模的制造工艺和便利的技术转让的试验台，弥合创新与实施之间的差距。该中心的影响力通过强大的合作伙伴得到加强，包括领先的研发顾问TIAX和原型合作伙伴朗讯科技，将使该中心能够推动概念商业化。在这种环境中接受教育的学生将为合作伙伴创新与实施的职业做好充分准备。该中心发起了一个国家纳米制造网络（NNN）-美国纳米制造为基础的经济发展的催化剂，共享制造设施的网络，动态的基于网络的信息交换所，以及大学-工业-政府合作伙伴关系的途径。 NNN将整合和扩大所有NSECs和纳米制造研究社区的影响。 该中心将通过创建和传播基于研究的多媒体教学材料来满足国家需求，以刺激和教育K-12学生和教师，社区大学学习者和公众等受众。 一个强有力的社会影响方案包括国家讲习班和调查研究。 该中心的努力得到了马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学和马萨诸塞州联邦的大力支持。
