University lead partner in new Midwest Academy for Nanoelectronics and Architectures.

Business, government and educational leaders in late March announced big news: establishment of the Midwest Academy for Nanoelectronics and Architectures (MANA).

It's a new research consortium and the University of Notre Dame, which is already involved in extensive nanotechnology research, is the lead partner. The group's mission is to discover and develop the next nanoscale logic device, the basic building block of smaller, faster computers of the future.

The partnership is expected to bring more federal money to Midwestern universities and potentially bring well-paying, high-technology jobs to South Bend and the region.
