Nanotechnology Research – Directory

The nanotech aspects of their research deal with in-situ visualization of biomembrane activity; nanometer dimensioned electrodes and fibre optics; self-assembling molecular and polymer materials; biomaterials as linkers for self-assembling molecular electronics, security applications and multiplexed sensing and nanophase biolithography.

The International Alliance for NanoEHS Harmonization is an interdisciplinary alliance of scientific experts, themselves currently active in all aspects of this arena, drawn from Europe, Japan and the United States that seeks to establish reproducible approaches for the study of nanoparticle hazard. The Alliance will use a process of ?round robin? studies that highlight sources of irreproducibility, and by an iterative process of removing these, lead to reliable test methods and convergent outcomes.

ICGEE's vision is an international engineering graduate education centre capable of producing a new cadre of world-class engineering doctoral graduates able to not only participate but play a future leadership role in a diverse, globally-engaged engineering workforce and 21st century innovation society.

The Irish Nanotechnology Association was established in 2002 by Enterprise Ireland to encourage the development of nanomaterials and processes by Irish Industry.

Information on on the NanoBio, NanoMaterials and NanoElectronics Science in Ireland provided by the Technology & Innovation Policy and Awareness Division of Forfás.

The Centre's research is focused on innovative therapeutic solutions to current medical challenges and deals with various nanoscale applications and materials.

Research in the group focuses on production, characterisation, theory and electronic applications of organic polymers, nanotubes and polymer nanotube composites.

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

CRANN is Ireland's first purpose-built Research Institute with a mission to advance the frontiers of nanoscience. The three major research areas are Nano-Biology of Cell Surface Interactions, Bottom-Up Fabrication and Testing of Nanoscale Integrated Devices and Magnetic Nano-Structures and Devices.
