Nanotechnology

Instrumentation installed at UNH with the NSF EPSCoR RII award (2007-2011) has enabled research leading to the discovery of a new compound, a persistent nonacene derivative which holds promise as a semiconductor for organic photovoltaic and organic light emitting diodes, and has led to the establishment of Innovacene, a spin-out company to manufacture the devices.
