- Center for Functional Nanomaterials, Brookhaven National Laboratory
- Center for Integrated Nanotechnology, Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory
- Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, Argonne National Laboratory
- NASA Ames nanotechnology effort started in early 1996 and has steadily grown to establish a center for nanotechnology. The research work focuses on experimental research and development (R&D) as well as on a strong modeling and simulation effort. In addition, the center conducts research in computational electronics, computational optoelectronics, and computational modeling of processes encountered in nanofabrication and microelectronics manufacturing.

- Open Directory Project provides a list of links for articles, books and conferences on nanotechnology.
- The Virtual Journal of Nanoscale Science & Technology is a joint effort of the American Insitute of Physics and the American Physical Society. It gives a weekly compilation of the latest research on nanoscale systems.
Universities
- The Centre for Nanoscale Science & Technology at the University of Newcastle provides a continuous link from generic research in all Faculties of the University, through materials, engineering and device fabrication support to clinical testing of prototype devices and systems.
- The Nanobiotechnology Center at Cornell University is characterized by its highly interdisciplinary nature and features a close collaboration between life scientists, physical scientists and engineers.
- NanoStructures Laboratory at Princeton University explores, develops and fabricates new nanotechnologies that are substantially smaller, better, and cheaper than current technology permits. This includes nanoscale electronic, optoelectronic, and magnetic devices.
- Ralph Merkle's research interests plus a collection of papers. His article "It's a Small, Small, Small, Small World" addresses the tools of the nanotechnology tradae becoming better defined with the ability to create new materials and devices by placing every atom and molecule in the right place.
- Richard P. Feynman's classic talk "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" which he gave on December 29, 1959 at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at the California Institute of Technology.
Company/ Business
- IBM Research is opening new frontiers in computing by looking in places where we cannot see anything...at least with the naked eye. IBM Research teams are hard at work on projects of the tiniest scale, exploring the manipulation of materials and even data at the atomic level. These tiny marvels are bringing new advances for fields such as computer storage technology.
