Lockheed Martin Advanced Nanotechnology Center of Excellence at Rice University

The Lockheed Martin Advanced Nanotechnology Center of Excellence at Rice University is a unique nanotechnology research program pairing Lockheed Martin engineers and Rice nanotechnology experts to explore new technologies for materials, electronics, energy, security, and defense combining Rice University’s expertise in carbon nanotechnology, photonics, plasmonics and other nanoscience disciplines to address a broad range of potential nanotechnology applications.

LANCER will concentrate on materials and composites, including ultra light weight, super-strong materials that can have significant implications for people, systems, vehicles and aerospace platforms.  Direct benefits include reduced transportation and logistics costs through energy savings and efficiencies, longevity, and enhanced personal protection for military and first responder applications.  Additional areas of research will include super-sensitive detectors with space-based applications, fast communications systems, and greatly improved devices for energy generation and storage, to name just a few.

In addition to the sponsored research in nanotechnology, Rice will host technology exchange venues for Lockheed Martin engineers, providing additional opportunities for learning and interaction between professors, students, and Lockheed Martin technologies.
