Purdue's Network for Computational Nanotechnology, nanoscience publisher sign partnership
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -

Officials from Taylor & Francis Group and the Network for Computational Nanotechnology, through an agreement announced Monday (Nov. 19), will cooperate to increase availability, volume and appeal of online content for nanoscience. They also will explore ways to make it easier for scientists, researchers and students to create and share content.
The Network for Computation Nanotechnology's nanoHUB is a Web-based resource funded by the National Science Foundation to promote research, education and collaboration in nanotechnology. With more than 25,000 users and based in Discovery Park's Birck Nanotechnology Center, nanoHUB hosts close to 800 nanoscience resources, including a suite of online simulation tools, along with online presentations, courses, learning modules and podcasts.
"The nanoHUB was created to be a resource for research and education for the nanoscience community," said Mark Lundstrom, director of the Network for Computational Nanotechnology and the Don and Carol Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue. "It is a kind of social network conecting nanotechnology content developers with users.
"We're excited about partnering with Taylor & Francis Group and NanoScienceWorks.org, as together they bring an exhaustive list of noted expert authors and new possibilities for online content and community to the Web."
Taylor & Francis Group, based in Boca Raton, Fla., is the publisher of more than 80 nanotechnology textbooks, reference books and journals, representing more than 1,000 nanoscience research authors and editors. Taylor & Francis also is the underwriter of NanoScienceWorks.org, a content and community portal for nanotechnology researchers.
