Nanotechnology Research – Universities

Nanostructured Materials

Three laboratories make up the center: the Nanomaterial Laboratory, Nanobiomedical Laboratory and Nanoelectronic Laboratory. They relate to research/development of new materials, biomedicine and light and display and energy respectively.

A four years full-time undergraduate degree program in nanotechnology.

This facility is an open-access initiative in support of nano-scale devices, systems and materials research that encompasses a broad range of technologies and capabilities. The facility provides nanofabrication, analytical instrumentation, materials characterization and process-development laboratories for students, faculty and industrial researchers.

The group focuses on the areas of high-density information storage, CNT-based devices and technology, nanophotonics, nano-electronics and NEMS, nanoparticles synthesis and characterization, bio/nanomaterials for drug delivery, modeling and characterization.

The High-Performance Materials Institute at Florida State University is the pioneer in the process for manufacturing of carbon nanotube 'buckypapers'. The center has other research on-going in areas of nanotube systhesis, growth and nanocomposites.

The Grill group is is focussed on the study of single functionalized molecules on surfaces.

FriMat combines a leading fundamental research program on soft condensed matter and solid state physics with an innovative approach to synthesize novel compounds in order to create and study advanced materials. FriMat is determined to not only focus on the creation of novel materials and promote nanotechnology, but investigates into potential risks associated with nanoparticles, and develops new tools essential in any attempt to sample and characterize nanoparticles in the environment.
