The A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute is established in 2003 to work in the emerging field of nanotechnology, or the manipulation of matter on scales as small as the atomic, molecular and supramolecular. Its name is changed to the A.J. Drexel Nanomaterials Institute in 2013, after 10 years, to better reflect its strengths and unique capabilities within this important subset of materials (and nanotechnology) research.
