Nanotechnology for the Environment

Mission

Develop point-of-packaging nanosensors to detect contaminates such as salmonella on the surface of food at the packaging plant
Develop field sensors that can differentiate genetically engineered foods
To create safe, inexpensive, and portable nano-enabled devices capable of sensing and remediating pollutants in water
To employ nanomaterials to solve major environmental remediation problems
To use nanoparticle probes to sense the presence of environmental toxins simply, rapidly, and at lower levels than conventional tests on-site
To employ nanomaterials as highly functional sponges to soak up environmental toxins

To use nanomaterials to meet the world’s need for safe food and clean water
To safeguard our most valuable resource – our planet by enabling environmental hazards to be identified and cleaned up faster and more efficiently
