Nanotechnology Research – Laboratories

The objectives of the Kimmel center for Nanoscale Science is to encourage research in this burgeoning scientific discipline in general, and to help establish the links between molecular biology and nanoscale science, in particular.

Kolektor Nanotesla Institute is a R&D center that builds on significant expertise in field of nanomaterials and composites, microwave applications and magnetism.

KANF is part of the national core research infrastructure of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Four research groups are active in this area: Mechatronics, Quantum Devices, Information and Energy Storage, Bio.

This center aims to study the origin of microstructural instability and novel properties of nanostructured materials. Various nano-materials processing technologies related to nanopowders, in particular, are being developed.

The Center is organized into three teams: The first team is the Optical MEMS Lab which has focused on the development of MEMS sensors and quantum key distribution systems. The second team is the Nano-Bio System Lab which has developed HTS (high throughput system) microfluidic chips and nano-bio sensors based on a nanomechanical piezoelectric cantilever and optical waveguide. The Bio-Robotics and Nano-Mechatronics Lab constitutes the third team which is working on the development of nano-bio robots and studying nano surface engineering.

The research center is involved in the development of nanobiochips, nanobiosensors and nanobiomaterials by utilizing biocontents.

The lab offers quick and comprehensive solutions matching the needs of clients applying achievements in technology in the areas of nanotechnology, biotechnology, energy-, and environment-related technologies.

The lab's advanced technologies of material structure control and processing, which are taken full advantage of from the nanometer level all the way to the macro level, enable the development of microscopic devices and is used to evaluate and analyze material and device properties, and to provide comprehensive research results for the development of materials, components and devices.

The Nano-Materials Research Laboratory has a high tech specialty in sol-gel, organic-inorganic hybrid, advanced analysis/ measurements and MEMS. Using combined expertise, the lab works on the formation of thin film, particle, bulk, control of microstructure and nanostructure, as well as, development of new functional materials and key materials for devices.

The lab works on resist-related materials forhigh-resolution processing of advanced electronic / photonic devices; Materials and components of display devices produced by photo-fabrication; Various optical components, transparent materials for optical devices.

The Electrum Laboratory constitutes a world-class resource for education, research, development and small scale production for micro and nano fabrication.

This Stockholm-based research program is a collective effort of research groups with different disciplinary competencies. Basically, the development of new, innovative tools, technologies and methodologies for chemical synthesis, analysis and biochemical diagnostics, performed in nanolitre to femtolitre domains is the major goal of the programme.
