Partnership with the Museum of Science, Boston

To bring the research and technological advances from our Nanoscale Science & Engineering Center to the public and to additional school populations, we have established a close partnership with the Museum of Science in Boston. Materials developed in the collaboration with the Boston Museum of Science will be shared with Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Museum of Science and Energy, and the Sandia Atomic Energy Museum.


• The Museum of Science in Boston is New England’s largest informal science and technology center

• The Museum entertains an audience of about 1.7 million visitors a year

• The Museum has recently opened a Current Science and Technology Center

• NSEC faculty give live presentations and demonstrations on various topics in nanoscale research at the CS&T.
