10^^-9！To encounter the Mr. Right among 1.3 billion people in China, your chance is about 1 in 10^9. This lovely magical code can also open the gate to the Nano World. 10^-9, that is the scale of a nanometer!

National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) is a young and vigorous research institute. Cofounded by Chinese Academy of Science and Ministry of Education in 2003, it has now developed into an internationally recognized organization in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

NCNST is home to a group of outstanding researchers, coming from Harvard, Stanford and other world-renowned institutions. At an average age of 34, they lead the field around the country with high production rate of top-level publications.

In NCNST, devoted researchers in nanobiology and nanomedicine are working day and night to harness nano-science into our daily lives.

Pioneers in the self-assembly of nanomaterials and nanocomposite coating are holding their positions with efficiency and responsibility.

For the first time in the world, NCNST has realized the direct imaging of intermolecular hydrogen bonding with independent nano characterization approaches.

Equipped with world-class micro- and nano-processing instruments and processing lines, NCNST has a platform for research, cooperation, service and education on the multidiscipline of nanotechnology.

The constantly improving nano mearsuring standard system carried out by NCNST is pushing forward China to the forefront of the world.

NCNST is also the host of China Nano, an international conference for nanoscience and technology. Every two years, outstanding scientists all over the world will gather here and discuss the orientation of the Nano field.

To achieve better combination of physics, chemistry, materials, biology, medicine and electronics, NCNST has set up the first PhD program in China for interdisciplinary studies in nano science & technology.

With an Internationalized environment, NCNST has attracted overseas students from more than 10 countries. The highly diversified culture has cultivated the most foreign students in UCAS.

In NCNST, we advocate honesty, integrity, global vision and gratitude. We also encourage personality, trust, inspiration and perspiration. We are building a happy, democratic and harmonious environment for everyone with our heart and souls.

For more than ten years, we have been sparing no efforts in cultivating a group of excellent graduates. The alumni working worldwide are bringing new ideas and vitality to the future development of nanoscience and technology.

Come and visit us, with your passion and imagination, as well as your courage and perseverance. Join us, to discover the beauty of the Nano World and to promote the civilization of the human beings. Beyond the destiny of 10^-9, we are waiting for you in NCNST.
