Nanotechnology Research – Universities

The main research topics are: Nanomagnetic Logic Devices; Nanoscale Hall-probe Devices; Technology for Preventing Forgery; Smart Nanoparticles for Targeted Cancer Treatment; Fundamental Properties of Nanoscale Magnetism.

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

IIT Bombay is one of the leading institutions in India for research in the area of Nanotechnology.

This is a joint project between the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) to create Centres of Excellence in Nanoelectronics.

NIC is operated as a highly multidisciplinary facility bridging medicine, science, materials science, and engineering disciplines integrated within existing interdisciplinary campus-based efforts.

The IU Nanoscience Center has two main research themes: 1)nanobiology –life sciences at the nano/bio interface; and 2) energy and the environment.

The present research of the group of Prof. Kreuter on nanoparticles focusses on five aspects: Development of nanoparticles made of other polymers (polylactic acid and new polyacrylic acid derivatives for the preparation of surface-functionalized nanoparticles); Investigation of nanoparticles as carriers for antiviral drugs for the treatment of AIDS; Targeting of drugs to the brain; Peroral application; Use of nanoparticles as carriers for oligonucleotides.

The Department's efforts are focused on the utilization of plasmonic effects in metallic nanostructures in the molecular ensemble, and their integration in technical environments.

The Department, the first of its kind in Iran, was set up in March 2003 in a brand new building to concentrate the research on all aspects of computational nano-science, and to help promote the fields of nano-science and nano-technology across the country.

The Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague (ICT) is the biggest educational institution of its kind in Central Europe. Research includes Nanomaterials, nanoelectronics, thin films.

The goal of the research in Prof. Lin's group is to understand the fundamentals of microscopic and nanoscopic structure formation at surfaces and interfaces, as well as in confined geometries.
