The Virginia Tech National Center for Earth and Environmental Nanotechnology Infrastructure (NanoEarth) was a node of the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI), an NSF-funded network of 16 centers spread throughout the United States serving as user facilities for cutting edge nanotechnology research. NanoEarth was funded by NSF Award #1542100 (2015-2020) & NSF Award #2025151 (2020-2025). NanoEarth operated within the Nanoscale Characterization and Fabrication Laboratory (NCFL) which is supported and managed by the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science (ICTAS) at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia.
