Mythbusting Scientific Knowledge Transfer with nanoHUB.org

Abstract
NCN operates nanoHUB.org, a science and engineering gateway providing the capability to perform online simulation resources through a web browser without the installation of any software. In 2007, NCN separated the nano content from the cyber platform, making the HUBzero solution available to other science gateways. Today, more than 230,000 users in 172 different countries annually participate in nanoHUB, an online meeting place for simulations, research, collaborations, teaching, learning and publishing. Over 12,000 users run simulation software from their browser in nanoHUB's science computing cloud. Cumulatively over 14,000 students in over 700 classes utilized nanoHUB simulations in classrooms and over 1,400 authors reference nanoHUB in over 850 scientific publications. The platform has spawned nanoHUB-U and, in turn, Purdue HUB-U, interfaces for online courses that are broadly accessible around the world.
