Nanotechnology Research – Directory

The vision of CDNA is exploring fundamental aspects of DNA as a programmable tool for directing the assembly of molecules and materials into nanoarchitectures and functional structures.

The project's goal is 1) to identify key actors and emerging/potential national and Nordic knowledge bases in the cross-over fields of eco-efficient nanotechnology and construction; 2) to analyse the dynamics of value chains and innovation systems active in this field and point to policy action; 3) to assess and contribute to firm strategizing about the application of eco-efficient nanotechnology in construction; and 4) to create a Nordic platform for linking actors and stakeholders in the field, to pool and disseminate a better understanding of potentials of eco-efficient nanotechnology in construction.

iNANOschool is a graduate school in nanoscience and nanotechnology at the University of Aarhus and Aalborg University.

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

Nanomaterials- polymers, self-assembly, thin films. Synthesis and analysis.

CEN houses 7 new microscopes built by FEI ranging from a standard SEM instrument to two highly specialized Titan TEMs. The new unit represents an exciting opportunity that will allow DTU and Denmark to be at the forefront of research utilizing all forms of electron microscopy and will be available for use by both in-house and external users.

The main objective of the Danish National Research Foundation Center for Individual Nanoparticle Functionality (CINF) at DTU is to explore and understand the fundamental relations between surface morphology and reactivity on the nanometer scale.

Nano DTU covers the full spectrum from basic research to applications. Nano DTU is organized in nine reseach themes, spanding from nanobio-technology to energy technology.

DANCHIP is a national facility for producing components based on micro- and nanostructured materials for the use in research and industrial products.

MIC is the department for micro- and nanotechnology at the Technical University of Denmark.MIC's mission is to: educate scientists and engineers, conduct research and development in micro and nanotechnology, and transfer new technologies to Danish industry, through joint programmes.

The Nanointegration group combines microcantilever systems with nanofabrication techniques in order to 'expand the nano toolbox'. They both develop tools to directly interact with the nanocomponents - tiny grippers for one-by-one manipulation - but also methods for assembling many such structures in parallel... which are necessary to ever manufacture nanosystem devices.

(site in Danish) Theory and applications of nanosystems with four dedicated research groups: nanoprobes, nanointegration, optofluidics and silicon based nano electromechanical systems

The research group Nanotechnology & Risk is dedicated to studying the potential environmental risks of engineered nanomaterials. This is done by following two basic approaches: A laboratory based approach to gain new insights in the behaviour and ecotoxicity of nanomaterials, and a desk based approach to critically analyze and suggest solutions to the regulatory and management challenges posed by the emergence of this new technological field.

Recent work has focused on Linear and nonlinear optical nanoscopy; Photoemission and nonlinear optical spectroscopy of metallic quantum wells; Quantum mechanical and statistical modelling of organic and inorganic nanomaterials; Advanced spectroscopic and STM studies of surface structures and reactions.

The members of iNANO and their respective research groups have complementary research programs in the analysis and synthesis of nanomaterials. The framework of iNANO, however, fosters and strengthens interdisciplinary activities, promotes the development of new non-traditional programs, and provides unique facilities for competitive research.
