The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Soldier Center recently announced a research partnership with the University of North Carolina-Greensboro's Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN). The goal is to "develop lighter, faster, safer, stronger nanoscale materials to improve soldier protection."
The U.S. Army DEVCOM Soldier Center awarded a $1.05 million agreement to the Innovation Collaborative Laboratory for Nanotechnologies to Empower Future Soldiers (ICONS). This project exemplifies the working relationship between NC industry and the military.
