Nanotechnology Research – Universities

Nano devices and bio-MEMS

The department offers programs of study and research in the major areas of biofunctional polymer chemistry, applied organic chemistry, organic process and catalyst chemistry, chemical physics of condensed matters, analytical science, materials design chemistry, and function development technology including nanoparticulate systems.

Research at the lab is focused in two primary areas, Neuroscience and Nanotechnology.

Nano @ Penn State has been created as a portal to access the breadth of nanotechnology research at the University.

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 research website of Prof. Robert Blick at the University of Wisconsin. The aim of this research is to build single-electron transistors (SETs) in semiconductor materials.

The Research center NanoQAM is a grouping of five laboratories in nanotechnologies of the Université du Québec à Montréal which offer their knowledge and expertise in nanomanufacturing using polymers, development of high-energy nanomaterials, renewable energies, nanoimaging, green chemistry as well as the development of biological membranes, biomaterials and biosensors. NanoQAM allows access to its infrastructures and scientific equipment, either for industries and other academic institutions.

The main research focus of the Laboratory is to pioneer in the development of new instrumented platforms and techniques through nanorobotics by exploiting the unique properties of molecular scale entities. The main areas of applications are in medicine and bioengineering, including supporting new robotic platforms for nanomanufacturing or high-throughput automatic operations at the nanoscale.

Many new nanotechnology research fields require a high degree of precision in both observing and manipulating materials at the atomic level. The advanced nanorobotics technology needed to manipulate materials at the nanoscale is being developed in the new Sheffield NANOLAB.

The NanoScience and Technology Center Linz (NSTL) is an Initiative of the Johannes Kepler University Linz together with non-university institutes.

In the Nanostudio, interdisciplinary groups of students from Ball State University and the Illinois Institute of Technology are exploring nanotechnology's potential impact on the built environment, as well as the social, ethical and environmental issues it raises.

The Nanosystems Biology Cancer Center (NSBCC) is organized to take advantage of the state-of-the-art in chemistry, materials, and physics of nanotechnology science and engineering, the state-of-the-art in systems biology approach to health and disease, and the state-of-the-art in the science, technology, and clinical applications of cancer biology.

Center of Excellence in Nanotechnology at Prince of Songkla University was established in 2006 under the collaboration among researcher from three faculties; Sciences, Pharmacy and Engineering. The Center's main focus is on nanomaterials.

A dedicated nanotoxicology group at UF.

The Centre for Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials at the Technical University Munich is devoted to research, development and teaching in the area of nanoscience, nanotechnology, associated materials science and life science.

Center for Nanotechnology for the Treatment, Understanding and Monitoring of Cancer (NanoTumor) at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center.

The Nanoelectronics Group is hosted by the Nanoelectronics Laboratory (NEL), which was established in Sept 2006, mainly from the former Ion Beam Processing Laboratory. The group conducts, promotes, and nurtures interdisciplinary research and education activities in nanoscale science and technology. Its research activities are in five main fields: oxide based nanoelectronics; computational nanoelectronics; carbon based nanoelectronics; organic nanoelectronics; solar cells.

The NanoCluster is a NTU-wide network of research centres that includes shared facilities for nanofabrication, nanocharacterization, and exploitation of nanotechnology applications.

The three objectives for the center are 1) to promote and coordinate large-scale interdisciplinary research programs in nano-science and technology. 2) to plan and to co-ordinate cross-disciplinary undergraduate and postgraduate training in nano-science and technology. 3) to serve as a bridge between the university's nano-research and the industrial application in nanotechnology.

The main objective of this center is to educate hi-tech professionals demanded both in academic and industrial fields, which will consequently promote academic research in electronics and forward the development of IC industry.
