Nanoblog: Researchers' competition akin to Coke vs. Pepsi
A large part of the success at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at the University at Albany comes from scientists from multiple companies collaborating on nanotechnology research and development.
Even when those companies are competitors in the business world.
Applied Materials – the world’s leading seller of semiconductor manufacturing equipment – and Tokyo Electron – No. 2 in the same sector – have proprietary clean room space right next to each other at the college. It’s separated by only a transparent glass wall.
In fact, their offices at the college are next to each other, too.
“It’s like having Coke and Pepsi next to each other,” Steve Janack, vice president for marketing and communications for the college, said during a tour of the facility Thursday.
