The Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center on Templated Synthesis and Assembly at the Nanoscale at the University of Wisconsin-Madison addresses the self-assembly of complex materials and building blocks at the nanoscale, including development of a unique program to explore their societal implications. The Center includes 27 faculty participants from 10 departments. The research mission of the proposed NSEC is organized into four interdisciplinary research thrusts.The thrust on the Directed Self-Assembly and Registration of Nanoscale Chemical Architectures addresses the question of assembling nano-structured objects into functional nanoscale systems. It explores the self-assembly of block copolymers on nanopatterned substrates, the convergent assembly of pre-fabricated nanoscale elements on nanoscale patterns, and the biologically-directed assembly of nanowires and nanorods for development of innovative biosensors. Another thrust is entitled Templated Chemical Synthesis of Sequence Specific Heteropolymeric Nanostructures. It explores guided processes of chemical synthesis and assembly on the on the scale of atomic dimensions. The thrust on Driven Nano-Fluidic Self Assembly of Colloids and Macromolecules explores the use of non-equilibrium processes, such as the use of flow and other fields, for nanoscale assembly and manipulation of nanoparticles and macromolecules, including DNA, under severe confinement. Finally, the thrust on the Research in the Societal Implications of Template Synthesis and Assembly at the Nanoscale uses a partnership with the Holtz Center for Science and Technology Studies and the La Follette School of Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin to develop an integrated, multidisciplinary understanding of nanoscale science and engineering as it moves out of the laboratory and into society and to build a public dialog about its societal, ethical, legal, and policy implications. In addition to these thrusts, the center uses seed funds to support promising individuals or groups of individuals in emerging areas of nanoscale science and engineering and its societal implications. The education and outreach program of the Center builds on the UW's experience in scientific education and benefit from infrastructure provided by the Institute for Chemical Education, the Journal of Chemical Education, and the National Science Digital Library. An additional partnership with the UW's Business School will assess the commercial potential and possible pathways to commercialization of technologies under development in the NSEC.The NSEC activities include the establishment of a Graduate Fellowship Program to recruit the most talented young scientists and engineers to the interdisciplinary field of nanoscale science and engineering and to foster a community of diversity. Links to international laboratories on three continents allow students to participate in substantive collaborative co-supervised research projects. The shared experimental facilities of the proposed NSEC include nanopatterning and surface sensitive characterization of materials, and leverage existing state-of-the-art instrumentation and infrastructure at the NSF sponsored Synchrotron Radiation Center (SRC), the NSF sponsored MRSEC, and the Center for NanoTechnology (CNTech). Supporting infrastructure will also be provided by the Wisconsin Center for Applied Microelectronics (WCAM) and the UW Materials Science Center (MSC).

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校纳米级的纳米级科学与工程中心纳米级的纳米综合和组装中心介绍了纳米级复杂材料和构建块的自组装，包括开发了一个独特的计划来探索其社会意义。 该中心包括来自10个部门的27名教师。 拟议的NSEC的研究任务被组织成四个跨学科研究的推力。纳米级化学体系结构的定向自组装和注册的推力解决了将纳米结构化对象组装到功能性纳米级系统中的问题。它探讨了纳米图案底物上块共聚物的自组装，纳米级模式上预制的纳米级元件的收敛组装以及纳米线的生物指导组装和纳米棒的生物指导组装，以开发创新生物传感器的开发。另一个推力是序列特定异源纳米结构的题为“模板化学合成”。 它探讨了在原子尺寸的规模上的化学合成和组装的指导过程。胶体和大分子的驱动纳米流体自我组装上的推力探索了非平衡过程的使用，例如使用流量和其他田地，用于纳米级组装，以及在包括DNA在内的纳米颗粒和含量的纳米颗粒组装，包括DNA，包括DNA，包括DNA。 最后，在纳米级的模板合成和集会的社会含义上，对研究的推动力与霍尔茨科学技术中心以及威斯康星大学的La Follette公共事务中心以及La Follette公共事务学院建立了综合的，多学科的，对纳米级科学和工程的跨学科理解，因为它的构建与社会和社会的构建有关，以对社会和社会进行交往，以对社会和社会进行交流，以对社会和社会进行对话，以此对社会和社会的对话，并对其进行了对话。含义。除了这些推力外，该中心还使用种子资金来支持纳米级科学和工程新兴领域中有前途的个人或一群人及其社会意义。该中心的教育和宣传计划基于西澳大学在科学教育方面的经验，并从化学教育研究所，化学教育杂志和国家科学数字图书馆提供的基础设施中受益。与大学商学院的额外合作伙伴关系将评估NSEC中开发技术商业化的商业潜力和可能的途径。NSEC活动包括建立研究生奖学金计划，以招募最有才华的年轻科学家和工程师到纳米级科学和工程学的跨学科领域，并培养各种各样的社区。与三大洲国际实验室的链接允许学生参加实质性协作的共同监督研究项目。 拟议的NSEC的共同实验设施包括材料的纳米图案和表面敏感表征，并利用NSF赞助的同步基因辐射中心（SRC），NSF赞助的MRSEC和Nanotechnology（CNTECH）的现有最新仪器和基础设施。威斯康星州应用微电子学中心（WCAM）和UW材料科学中心（MSC）也将提供支持基础设施。
