Nanotechnology Research – Universities

Research target is establishment of new evaluation technique for MEMS / NEMS material properties. Research of silicon nanolithography technique and development of MEMS/NEMS devices are also performed.

This four year program combines majors in nanotechnology and either physics or chemistry and encompasses physical, chemical, biological and engineering nanoscience and nanotechnology. This double degree provides a strong grounding in nanotechnology, the science and engineering of materials less than a micrometer in size across the disciplines of physics and chemistry with substantial biology and engineering components.

The NanoPower Research Labs at RIT are dedicated to the development of new materials and devices for power generation and storage for microelectronic components and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS).

The group studies the structure, dynamics and interactions of biomolecules in model systems.

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

The activity of the group focuses on two main areas. On the one hand, the Group develops and applies new chemometric techniques related to the validation of analytical methodologies. On the other hand, the second main activity of the Group is the transfer of knowledge and technology.

The main aim of the Master's Degree is to provide students with solid, interdisciplinary training that will make it possible to respond to the challenges of scientific and technological development. Students will learn about new tools for fabricating, nanohandling and characterizing materials, devices and systems of nanometric size that are necessary for undertaking experimental work.

The group works on modeling and design of linear and nonlinear photonic crystals; the development of technologies based on the macroporous ordered silicon and on the nanoporous silicon for the production of 1D and 2D photonic crystals; and the development of physical models for advanced electronic devices: Thin-film transistors, nanometric-sized MOSFETs, silicon-based heterojunction devices.

The School of Applied Science at RMIT offers a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Nanotechnology.

Multidisciplinary basic research into the nature and limits to self-organization in combinatorially complex chemical systems. Electronic micro-and nanosystems provide controlled and programmable environments for studying and optimizing such systems, and so our research is also forging a link between the three rapidly expanding technologies: Information Technology (IT), Biotechnology (BT) and Nanotechnology (NT).

The aim of the collective work of the scientists at the NanoCenter is the increase of the interdisciplinary basic research on natural nanoscale materials or self-organized nanostructures (bottom-up strategy), and with nanolithography defined structures (top-down strategy).

ICAMS focuses on the development and application of a new generation of simulation tools for multi-scale materials modelling with the aim of reducing development cost and time for new materials.

The Centre was established to carry out research on cutting-edge technologies in two of the most crucial sectors in the world - Healthcare and Energy. The Centre aims to develop products based on nanomaterials that could be commercialized in the near future.

The STS Initiative's Nanoscience and Society Research Group at the University of Massachusetts Amherst brings together faculty from five research centers and seven degree-granting departments and programs within SBS engaged with several dimensions of the societal implications of nanotechnology.

Research on nano-scale hybrid systems comprised of solid state devices and organic materials.

The institute integrates innovative research on nanosystems with far-reaching interdisciplinary education.

Site of the Korea-Sweden Carbon Based Nanostructure Research Center (KSCNR).

The research fields at NNML are: Inorganic-Inorganic Layered Nanohybrid; Inorganic-Porous Layered Nanohybrid; Inorganic-Bio layered Nanohybrid; Exfoliation of Layered Oxide & LDH Materials; Exfoliation of Layered Superconductors.

Founded in 2005 INN intends to be the hub of Nanotechnology in the country and has the mission of promoting Nanotechnology in the university and in the country by providing a network of researchers from various disciplines and supporting activities that are related to Nanotechnology.

The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Research Center (NNRC), aims at actively creating and nurturing a dynamic learning environment in which qualified individuals of different perspectives, life experiences, and scientific backgrounds will pursue their academic goals and enhance Shaw University’s capacity and academic values.

The Nanotechnology Centre for PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) Research is involved in the processing, characterisation and use of advanced nanostructural materials, including advanced nanostructural functional and decorative PVD coatings for applications in various industries such as: aerospace, automotive, textile, hydraulic, cutting tools.

The Nano-Imaging Facility is part of the Pacific Centre for Advanced Materials and Microstructures (PCAMM) and provides investigators at SFU and the surrounding community with access to high resolution instruments for the nanoscopic characterization of materials.

The group seeks to understand how molecules and nanoparticles assemble spontaneously at the nano-micro scales. The work gives insights into the design and function of biomolecular structures. Moreover, they develop rules for the design of new types of fluids and materials that could be useful in consumer products, oil recovery, drug delivery and nanotechnology.

The ultimate goal of Choi's Group is to develop a biochip which can be used as a new generation electronic devices. In order to achieve those things, Choi's Group has studied the fundamental and advanced techniques involved in the development of the bio memory.
