Molecular Nanosystems, Inc. was co-founded in 2001 by Dr. Hongjie Dai, an Associate Professor at Stanford University and world-renowned scholar and scientist in the field of nanotechnology. Headquartered in Palo Alto, CA, the company is engaged in research and development of nanotube-based products using leading-edge, patent-protected site-selective chemical vapor deposition technology. The company synthesizes carbon nanotubes on pre-defined locations with the desired orientation on different substrates, manipulates the properties of carbon nanotubes via functionalization, and integrates them into next generation gas and biological sensors and other high-end electronics devices. These products will have a fundamental impact on the fields of electronics, drug discovery and safety.
