Uniting the Nanomaterials Ecosystem

Fostering Collaboration to Accelerate Nanomaterials Innovation

The nanomaterials ecosystem is a complex network of researchers, industry leaders, investors, and policymakers, each playing a vital role in driving innovation and commercialization. To foster collaboration and accelerate progress, the NIA is committed to bringing this ecosystem together. By creating platforms for dialogue, knowledge sharing, and networking, we aim to bridge the gap between academia and industry, facilitate partnerships, and identify emerging opportunities. Through these platforms, we seek to provide a space for experts to share their insights, discuss challenges, and explore potential solutions.

Beyond connecting individuals, the NIA also works to foster collaboration between organizations. We look to facilitate partnerships between research institutions, industry leaders, and government agencies, enabling them to pool their resources and expertise to tackle complex challenges. By breaking down silos and promoting open innovation, we aim to create a more cohesive and effective nanomaterials ecosystem that can accelerate the development and commercialization of transformative technologies.

New design rule proposed for boron nanomaterials

EUON's latest Nanopinion, "From Boron Fullerenes to Borophenes: A Simple Rule for Designing New Nanomaterials," lays out a coordination-based method for predicting how boron nanomaterials will behave structurally, replacing guesswork with a more systematic approach. By tracking how boron atoms coordinate in four-, five- and six-fold arrangements, the author connects boron fullerenes—closed, cage-like structures—to flat, two-dimensional borophenes. This coordination pattern offers a shortcut for…
