Nanotechnology Research – Laboratories

RQMP brings together Quebec's three principal research centers in the field of physics and technology of materials: the Centre de recherche sur les propriétés électroniques des matériaux avancés (CERPEMA) of Université de Sherbrooke, the Center for the Physics of Materials (CPM) of McGill University and the Thin Film Physics and Technology Research Center (GCM) located on the campus of Université de Montréal.

The CNI is a center of excellence for nanoelectronics at the Research Center Jülich and provides an excellent basis for future developments of nanoelectronics and IT. To identify technology drivers the research areas cover quantum-electronic, magneto-electronic, ferro-electric and molecular nanostructures as well as Terahertz-electronics and bio-signal processing.

The Nanotechnology Research Center (NRC) of RIPI was established in 2006 after five years of activity as nanotechnolgy committee. The center provides a framework to ensure the RIPI leadership in nanotechnology that will be essential to improve the petroleum industry. The center's research focus is on carbon nanotubes, nanocomposites, nanocatalysts, nanoparticles, nanocoatings and their applications in the petroleum industry.

RTI International is one of the world's leading research institutes, dedicated to improving the human condition by turning knowledge into practice. Research at RTI includes nanofibers, nanomembranes and other nanomaterials and naotechnology applications.

RIKEN carries out high level experimental and research work in a wide range of fields, including physics, chemistry, medical science, biology, and engineering, covering the entire range from basic research to practical application.

Nanomaterial R&D and analysis (including the Danish Polymer Centre); nanobiotechnology research.

The RO-NANOMED project is devoted to the creation and development of an integrated research network in the field of nanobiotechnology for health. This network is targeting integration into the European Technology Platform (ETP) 'NanoMedicine'.

RTI, an advanced technology research institute, initiated a focus on nanotechnology to consolidate and coordinate years of successful work in thermoelectrics, materials science and engineering, and filtration and aerosol technology.

Supported equally by the Russell Berrie Foundation, the Government of Israel through TELEM, and Technion, RBNI aims at positioning the Technion and the State of Israel at the forefront of global nanotechnology research and development.
