{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2019}}
The Sydney Nanoscience Hub is a nanoscience facility of The University of Sydney Nano Institute (formerly the Australian Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology) at the University of Sydney in Camperdown, Sydney, Australia. The laboratories in the building are isolated from outside influences such as vibration, electromagnetic fluctuations, temperature and atmospheric pressure variation, the air in the laboratories is also filtered to be free of dust.{{cite news |first=John |last=Ross |url=http://www.smh.com.au/technology/innovation/sydney-university-to-open-nanoscience-hub-for-the-quantum-technologies-of-the-future-20160307-gnca74.html |title=Sydney University to open Nanoscience Hub for the quantum technologies of the future |publisher=Sydney Morning Herald |date=2016-03-23 |accessdate=2017-05-17}}{{cite news |last=Klein |first=Alice |url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/2084920-sydneys-nanoscience-lab-has-floating-floors-and-faraday-cages/ |title=Sydney's nanoscience lab has floating floors and Faraday cages |publisher=New Scientist |date=2016-04-19 |accessdate=2017-05-17}}
History
The facility opened in April 2016. Construction cost AU$150 million; the Australian federal government's Commonwealth Education Infrastructure Fund contributed AU$40 million. Microsoft has invested in a quantum computing research facility.{{cite news|author1=Andy Park |author2=Joanna Woodburn |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-20/nanoscience-centre-helps-microsoft-enter-computer-arms-race/7341318 |title=Sydney's new nanoscience centre opens doors for Microsoft to lead 'computer arms race' |publisher= ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) |website=abc.net.au |date=2016-04-20 |accessdate=2017-05-17}}{{cite web |last=Stoye |first=Emma |url=https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/australia-opens-80-million-nanoscience-hub/1010255.article |title=Australia opens £80 million nanoscience hub |work= News |publisher=Chemistry World |date=2016-05-09 |accessdate=2017-05-17}}
