Nanotechnology Research Laboratories

The Royal Microscopical Society is at the forefront of new ideas and developments in microscopy and imaging. It is the only truly international microscopical society, drawing distinguished members from all over the world. It also serves the needs of its company members who represent all the major manufacturers and suppliers of microscopes, equipment and services. It is dedicated to advancing science, developing careers and supporting wider understanding of science and microscopy.

RTI, an advanced technology research institute, initiated a focus on nanotechnology to consolidate and coordinate years of successful work in thermoelectrics, materials science and engineering, and filtration and aerosol technology.

Multidisciplinary basic research into the nature and limits to self-organization in combinatorially complex chemical systems. Electronic micro-and nanosystems provide controlled and programmable environments for studying and optimizing such systems, and so our research is also forging a link between the three rapidly expanding technologies: Information Technology (IT), Biotechnology (BT) and Nanotechnology (NT).

ICAMS focuses on the development and application of a new generation of simulation tools for multi-scale materials modelling with the aim of reducing development cost and time for new materials.

The Rutgers' MSE program encourages students to select an area of focus in one or more of the following areas: Biomaterials, Nanomaterials, Energy Conversion and Storage, Polymers, Electronic and Optical Materials, Packaging Materials.

The Hybrid Micro/Nanomanufacturing Laboratory at Rutgers Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, led by Professor Jonathan P. Singer, seeks to translate the extraordinary properties demonstrated by functional nanostructures into mass manufactured, complex architectures. This is accomplished through combinations of bottom-up and top-down or large-area and small-area lithographic techniques.
