UT-Austin to Pursue Nanotech Center

An AP newswire article by Liz Austin, via SFGate.com, reports that:

The University of Texas at Austin moved a step closer Friday to opening a research institute that officials hope could make the Lone Star State a major player in the emerging field of nanotechnology.

University of Texas System regents gave Chancellor Mark Yudof permission to seek grants from the state and industry leaders to help create the South West Academy for Nanoelectronics.

The research center would be part of a $30 million initiative that also would include recruiting eight top faculty members to UT campuses in Austin, Dallas and Arlington.
