The mission of the proposed Next Generation Nanomaterial and Device Engineering (NGeNE) center is to develop a science, engineering, and technology base for the rational design of next generation computers, starting from their underlying material embodiments and fundamental physical principles. To build a chip for information processing, we must explore nanoscale logic and memory, photonics for high speed on-chip communication and thermal engineering to handle energy dissipation in 3D. The NGeNE center will address all these components, along with computational modeling, scientific training and education. Various industrial sectors such as the semiconductor chip industry, optoelectronics, mobile and wireless technology, energy, photonics, chemical, biological and packaging industry, as well as the civilian and defense infrastructure, healthcare and the energy sector will directly benefit from this effort. The goal of the center will be to (a) form a critical University Industry Government nexus on emerging nanotechnology, (b) carry out industry relevant research using state of the art modeling, simulation, growth, characterization, fabrication and integration of emerging nanomaterials and devices, (c) provide a competitive edge to industry and national labs by leveraging the multi-university intellectual resources for cost effective innovative solutions to their current problems, and (d) develop supporting curricula, create databases and train students and industry affiliates with the tools and knowledge infrastructure to meet their future work force requirements.The proposed center for Next Generation Nanomaterial and Device Engineering (NGeNE) aims to form a University-Industry-Government (UIG) nexus towards the design and engineering of next generation nanomaterials and devices with an emphasis on post-CMOS computing. This will rest on four pillars: Nanoelectronics and NanoMagnetism for Logic and Memory (Computation), Thermal for power management, and Photonics for on chip communication. The research thrusts span a large phase space from novel switching schemes to non-Boolean logic, beyond silicon to advanced magnetic, thermal and photonic materials. They combine physical models with computational software, compact models and architecture, heterogeneous growth and integration, nanofabrication, characterization, testing and reliability.

拟议的下一代纳米材料和设备工程（NGENE）中心的使命是为下一代计算机的合理设计开发科学，工程和技术基础，从其基本材料实施方案和基本物理原理开始。要构建用于信息处理的芯片，我们必须探索纳米级逻辑和记忆，高速片上通信的光子学和热工程，以处理3D的能量消散。 Ngene Center将与计算建模，科学培训和教育一起解决所有这些组件。各种工业领域，例如半导体芯片行业，光电和无线技术，能源，光子学，化学，生物和包装行业，以及平民和国防基础设施，医疗保健和能源部门将直接受益于这项工作。该中心的目标是（a）建立一个关键的大学行业政府有关新兴纳米技术的联系，（b）使用艺术建模，仿真，成长，成长，表征，制造和整合新兴的纳米材料和设备，通过为产业和国家实验性提供了有效性的实验性，以实现多种效率和国家的知识，从而实现了新兴的纳米材料和设备，从而进行了行业相关研究，（c） （d）开发支持课程，创建数据库，并使用工具和知识基础架构来培训学生和行业分支机构，以满足其未来的劳动力需求。拟议的下一代纳米材料和设备工程（NGENE）旨在构成大学 - 工业政府（UIG）Nexus Nexus Nexus Nexus Nexus in Section and Incutions and-nanomeals and-and-nanomeal and amphis and-emplos and-nanomeal and amphis and amphis and amphis and amphis and amphis and amphis and amphis and amphis and emplats and-emplats and ampast and ampast。这将取决于四个支柱：用于逻辑和记忆的纳米电子和纳米磁学（计算），电源管理热和芯片通信的光子学。该研究推力跨越了从新颖的开关方案到非树树逻辑的大相位空间，除了硅，再到先进的磁性，热和光子材料。 他们将物理模型与计算软件，紧凑的模型和体系结构，异质增长和集成，纳米型，表征，测试和可靠性相结合。该中心的目标是（a）建立一个关键的大学行业政府有关新兴纳米技术的联系，（b）使用艺术建模，仿真，成长，成长，表征，制造和整合新兴的纳米材料和设备，通过为产业和国家实验性提供了有效性的实验性，以实现多种效率和国家的知识，从而实现了新兴的纳米材料和设备，从而进行了行业相关研究，（c） （d）开发支持课程，创建数据库，并使用工具和知识基础设施来满足其未来的劳动力需求，并培训学生和行业分支机构。
