Description: ISIS, the Institute For Surface and Interface Science, is the home of nanoscience on the University of California, Irvine (UCI) campus. More specifically, ISIS is one of 16 Organized Research Units (ORUs) on the UCI campus. Biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers who engage nanometer-scale structures in their research also rely on many of the same tools: Scanning probe microscopes, electron microscopes, and spectroscopies including solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to mention just a few. The main point is that in nanoscience, intellectual and physical economies of scale are present. The Institute For Surface and Interface Science (ISIS) is a consortium of physicists, chemists, engineers, and biologists with common research interests in nanoscience. ISIS exists to do excellent research in nanoscience.
