Nanotechnology Research - Universities

CNST envisions seamless integration of the research from materials to devices to systems and applications

The FS-MRL brings together world-class faculty and students in condensed matter physics, materials chemistry, and materials science in a highly collaborative research environment.

Granick's research group at the University of Illinois conducts multi-disciplinary research on fundamental materials processes. They specialize in the field of soft materials.

The Lu group's research interests, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, are right at the interface between chemistry and biology.

The lab is one of the nation's largest and most sophisticated university-based facilities for semiconductor, nanotechnology, and biotechnology research.

The group of Prof William King designs, fabricates, and uses tools for thermal and thermomechanical processing at micrometer and nanometer length scales. Their research involves the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanoimprint lithography for thermal and thermomechanical modification of surfaces.

The group is pioneering CAD for nanoscale machines made using DNA nanotechnology.
