Center of Integrated Nanomechanical Systems (COINS)AbstractThe goal of this program is to develop and integrate cutting-edge nanotechnologies into a versatile platform with various ultra-sensitive, ultra-selective, self-powering, mobile, wirelessly communicating detection applications. The success of this mission requires new advances in nano-electro-mechanical devices, from fundamental building blocks to enabling technologies to full device integration. The research approach combines five major thrusts that strive to push the limits of utilizing nanotechnology in Energy, Sensing, Mobility, Electronics, and Communication. Each of these areas encompasses research projects spanning the full spectrum of basic through applied levels. Deliverables include key advances in each research area as well as new approaches for integrating these advances together into a single, mobile sensing platform. An example includes the recent construction of a fully self-contained radio system with integral single-atom mass detection capability built out of a single carbon nanotube.If successful, the program will lead to enhancements in environmental monitoring technologies that open new possibilities for detection via substantially better spatial and temporal resolution, for example the tracking of air- and water-borne pollutants and a better understanding of the impact of source emissions on ambient concentrations and human exposure. The mobile platform has the potential to fundamentally change the way one responds to proliferation events or serious natural catastrophic events by providing much more accurate information on conditions, allowing for improved countermeasures and security. The research components of this program are highly leveraged to prepare, recruit, and retain the nanoscale science and engineering workforce; to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities and women in nanoscale science and engineering in both industry and academia; and to increase the general public?s awareness and understanding of nanoscale science and engineering.

中心集成纳米机械系统（硬币）Abstract该计划的目标是开发和集成尖端的纳米技术到一个多功能的平台，各种超灵敏，超选择性，自供电，移动的，无线通信检测应用。 这一使命的成功需要在纳米机电设备方面取得新的进展，从基本的构建模块到使能技术再到全面的设备集成。 该研究方法结合了五个主要的推动力，努力推动在能源，传感，移动，电子和通信中利用纳米技术的极限。这些领域中的每一个都包含了从基础到应用水平的全方位研究项目。 可供选择的包括每个研究领域的关键进展以及将这些进展整合到单个移动的传感平台中的新方法。 一个例子是最近建造了一个完全独立的无线电系统，该系统具有由单个碳纳米管建造的完整的单原子质量检测能力。如果成功，该计划将导致环境监测技术的增强，通过大大提高空间和时间分辨率，为检测开辟新的可能性，例如，追踪空气和水传播的污染物，更好地了解污染源排放对环境浓度和人类接触的影响。 移动的平台有可能从根本上改变应对扩散事件或严重自然灾害事件的方式，提供更准确的情况信息，从而改进对策和安全。 该计划的研究组成部分高度利用准备，招聘和保留纳米科学和工程劳动力;增加代表性不足的少数民族和妇女在工业界和学术界的纳米科学和工程的参与;并增加公众？的认识和理解纳米科学和工程。
