Nanoscape: The Journal for Undergraduate Research in Nanoscience is an annual publication of original research conducted by undergraduates from around the county. The journal was launched in 2004 and was the first of its kind in the country. The journal disseminates the results of undergraduate research in the broad fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanoscape is an educational outreach project of the Northwestern University Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC), which is part of the International Institute for Nanotechnology (IIN), both of which are under the direction of Professor Chad A. Mirkin. This work was supported primarily by the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Initiative of the National Science Foundation Under NSF award number EEC–0755375 AND EEC-0647560.
