Nanotechnology Research – Laboratories

The mission of the TASC-INFM National Laboratory is twofold: 1) It serves as a national resource for the solid state physics materials science, and synchrotron radiation spectroscopy communities, and 2) it implements a number of advanced in-house research programs including growth and elaboration of new materials and nanostructures.

Technitex is a Centre of Excellence for Technical Textiles. The new promise of technical and performance textiles is an emerging generation of products combining the latest developments in advanced flexible materials with advances in computing and communications technology, biomaterials, nanotechnology and novel process technologies such as plasma treatment.

TEKNIKER is a technological center set up as a private not-for-profit foundation to help the industrial sector to increase its innovative capacity by means of generating and applying technology and knowledge in order to be more competitive. Expertise includes nanoimprint lithography for fabric engineering, vapor-phase deposition coatings, and nanostructuring of coatings.

An independent, nonprofit organization that serves clients in industry, government, and academia. One Research area is Nanoporous Materials: Modeling and Characterization.

The Group undertakes research aimed at development and innovative exploitation of nanoscale materials and devices within emerging Information and Communication Technology (ICT) application areas.

Research areas are: Nanoimprint Lithography; Photonic Crystals; Electron-Phonon Interaction; Nanotubes
