UCLA is the only one in California

<p>UCLA Chosen to Lead Nano-Manufacturing Research Center</p>

<p>The National Science Foundation has awarded UCLA a grant worth nearly $18 million over five years to establish a new Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center. The new center will combine fundamental science and technology in nano-manufacturing that will transform laboratory science into industrial applications in nano-electronics and biomedicine.</p>

<p>UCLA is one of only two universities — and the only one in California — chosen to lead such a center. </p>

<p>UCLA is joined by five other partner institutions: University of California, Berkeley; Stanford University; University of California, San Diego; University of North Carolina at Charlotte; and HP labs. </p>
