Nanotechnology Research – Universities

The institute has started a M.Tech Course in Nanotechnology in November, 2003. The program comprises of conceptual knowledge of nanoscience and nanotechnology, including preparation of nanomaterials, their characterization and applications.

The Amrita Nano Biomedical Engineering Centre, or ANBEC, has been established to conduct research and development work on devices and components at the interface between biology, medicine and engineering, where nanoscience and technology can provide a significant value added benefit over existing technologies.

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.

Research activities include synthesis and characterization of a variety of nanoobjects-tubes, wires and particles of different materials, their chemical modification and organization as well as thin films and powders of transition metal oxides showing interesting physical properties.

Offers an M. Tech. course in Nanotechnology.

The group is involved in modeling structure and dynamics of doped and undoped carbon cluster solids, fullerene solids, carbon nanotubes and nanoparticales, simple and organic molecular crystals. Experimental activities involve irradiation of thin film samples to heavy and swift ions and characterizing them, working on methods to produce carbon nanotubes.

The group is involved in areas of research like modeling structure and dynamics of doped and undoped carbon cluster solids, fullerene solids, carbon nanotubes and nanoparticales, simple and organic molecular crystals.

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.

University of Mumbai will focus on R&D in Nanosciences and Nanotechnology leading to industry-ready technology and b) Development of human resources to implement the technology.
