What is NEAT?

The NEAT Statement:

"Nanoparticles are everywhere. You eat them, drink them, breathe them, pay to have them, and pay even more to get rid of them."
- Dr. Alexandra Navrotsky, 1999

NEAT (Nanomaterials in the Environment, Agriculture, and Technology) is a multidisciplinary research and education program which links the fundamental physics, chemistry, and engineering of small particles and nanomaterials to several challenging areas of investigation:

• applications in ceramic, chemical, electronic, environmental, and agricultural technology
• environmental transport and transformation and resulting roles in environmental pollution and remediation
• interactions with the biosphere, especially microorganisms
• effects on health
