Nanotechnology Research – Laboratories

The mission of the Institute is to play a dominant role in the materials science and technology innovation chain, first of all in the field of laser technology, metal technology and simulation, polymer technology and nanotechnology.

The research directions of BNLMS include: (1) structure and transformation of matter; (2) materials chemistry; (3) nanoscience and nanotechnology; (4) polymer science and engineering; (5) chemistry in life science; (6) environmental and energy chemistry.

The research arm of Lucent-Alcatel conducts nanotechnology rseaerch such as for instance nanostructured surfaces.

The Molecular Foundry at Berkeley Lab is a user facility for the design, synthesis and characterization of nanoscale materials.

BSAC is the National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Microsensors and Microactuators, conducting industry-relevant, interdisciplinary research on micro- and nano-scale sensors, moving mechanical elements, microfluidics, materials, and processes that take advantage of progress made in integrated-circuit, bio, and polymer technologies.

Biomade Technology Foundation is a research institute whose mission is to develop and exploit molecular nanotechnologies.

BioSciences Research Institute (BRI) has been setup as a premier Institute for Research & Development and Advanced Training in the field of BioSciences. Research includes nanotechnology.

Boeing Phantom Works is the advanced research and development unit at Boeing and the catalyst of innovation for the Boeing enterprise. For instance, they are working to create an entirely new class of nanostructured aluminum alloys. These lab-produced materials deliver titanium's strength - over a wide temperature range - in a much lighter material.

The Brookhaven National Laboratory Center for Functional Nanomaterials will provide researchers with state-of-the-art capabilities to fabricate and study nanoscale materials.

Through special grants awarded by the NIH, the Burnham has been designated as one of four centers for devising new therapies for cardiovascular disease using bionanotechnology.

XNRI is focused on developing unique technologies that have been enabled by the fusion of a diverse range of disciplines centering around nanotechnology, technologies that will allow them to direct their efforts into research areas related to the environment, energy and medicine.
