Nanotechnology Research Laboratories

Performs broadly-based research and development in nanotechnology. A unique strength of the group's technical efforts is the focus on systems engineering starting at the molecular scale.

The Montana Microfabrication Facility is a resource for Montana State University, external academics, and commercial entities that provides affordable access to a range of micro and nanofabrication equipment. They support applications ranging from fundamental physics to biology, microfluidics, MEMS and MOEMS, and sensors. The facilities include 2,200 square feet of Class 1,000 and Class 10,000 cleanroom laboratories with broad capabilities in lithography, thin film deposition, thermal processing, wet and dry etching, packaging, and testing.

This facility is dedicated to the growth and characterization of magnetic films, magnetic particles, and magnetic interfaces with the goal of understanding their intrinsic behavior. A technological example of the utility of such films is in non-volatile magnetic random access memories (MRAM), high density archival storage, and magnetic nano-particle based sensors.

The Case Western reserve University nanoBook is an interactive directory that highlights the ongoing nanoscience/nanotechnolgy research activities of our faculty across the university. Please browse through the nanoBook by faculty last name, department, or by choosing a field of interest.

The Nanoethics Group is a non-partisan and independent organization that studies the ethical and societal implications of nanotechnology.

The precursor to the Nanofactory Collaboration was informally initiated by Robert Freitas and Ralph Merkle in the Fall of 2000 during their time at Zyvex. Their continuing efforts, and those of others, have now grown into direct collaborations among 23 researchers or other participants (including 16 Ph.D's or Ph.D candidates) at 10 institutions in 4 countries (U.S., U.K., Russia, and Belgium), as of 2006.

The goal of the Nanomotor Drug Delivery Center is to construct a synthetic modified motor with artificial components for use in a variety of nanodevices and nanomedical applications. The center is to create liposomes and nano-structured arrays with embedded and active modified phi29 DNA-packaging motors for both passive and active transport of DNA and drugs.

NISE brings researchers and informal science educators together to inform the public about nanoscience and technology.

A nonprofit scientific research and education foundation chartered to conceive, establish, and conduct cutting-edge technology, research, and development in the areas of aerospace, education, energy, life sciences, shipping and transportation.

NEWT, an interdisciplinary, multi-institution nanosystems-engineering research center (headquartered at Rice University), is applying nanotechnology to develop transformative and off-grid water treatment systems that both protect human lives and support sustainable economic development.
