<p>Northwestern came out fairly well on the list. CMU made the cut but did not fare well. Duke did not make it, although its research partner NC State did. Brown and Penn did not make the list. </p>

North Carolina makes its debut in the rankings this year by capturing more research and venture capital dollars than many of its competitors. The North Carolina Center for Nanoscale Materials, a consortium of the University of North Carolina, Duke University and North Carolina State University, shows that teamwork pays.
Illinois has one of the highest scores among states for its micro and nanotech research, but hovers in the teens in other key categories. And its research score fell a few points compared to the previous year, making its safety net a little less robust this year. Illinois may just be a little slower than other states at commercializing the work at its research institutions. In Illinois, those include Northwestern University, the University of Illinois campuses and Argonne National Laboratory.
