A federal stimulus grant of $6.9 million will help the University of Nebraska-Lincoln build a nanoscience research facility.

A news release from the office of U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson says the $6.9 million grant will cover half the total project budget of $13.8 million.

The 32,000-square-foot facility will include labs for crystallography -- the science that studies the formation and structure of crystals -- and electron microscopy.

Nanoscience is defined as the study of the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale.
