Nanotechnology Research Laboratories

A highly interdisciplinary programme for investigating the synthesis, assembly, properties and commercial application of nanomaterials.

Conducts research on nanomaterials.

The only national-level engineering research center for nanotechnology and its applications in China, conducting research, development and commercialization across nano biomedicine, functional and environmental materials, energy materials and information surfaces.

The NEST-INFM initiative targets the creation of a world-class research centre where interdisciplinary teams of computational, experimental, and theoretical physicists together with molecular biologists and chemists can investigate key issues of nanoscale physics and exploit the new acquired knowledge to develop innovative nanobiotechnological tools, and nanoelectronic and photonic devices and architectures.

The Quantum Dot Research Center is promoting research on these semiconductor nano structures and aiming at further development of basic nano technologies by advancing and fusing nano fabrication technologies which NIMS has been cultivating.

The advanced characterization and measurement technologies responding to the material needs are indispensable for the innovation. The group is aiming at is state-of-the-art analytical technologies to clarify the comprehensive characteristics of materials.

NTU was created to be a center for conducting Nano science and technology studies.

A shared facility for nano- and micro-fabrication and materials characterization, supporting research in nanoelectronics, MEMS and NEMS, quantum-dot and carbon-nanotube devices, and nanolithography.

In 2014, the National Research Foundation (NRF) of Singapore has awarded NUS with a S$ 50 M grant over the next 10 years in order to support the operational costs of GRC's labs and micro and nano-fabrication facility and the exploration, synthesis, and development of new devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials of which graphene is the most famous, creating a new Centre for Advanced 2D Materials, directed by Prof. Antonio H. Castro Neto.

A multidisciplinary centre in the Department of Physics developing proton and ion beam technologies for nanofabrication, ion beam analysis, and single-cell radiobiology using a 3.5 million volt accelerator.

A national research centre of excellence dedicated to the design, synthesis and application of functional intelligent materials with adaptive, out-of-equilibrium properties for electronics, energy, membranes and healthcare.

Research explores carbon-based and two-dimensional quantum materials, focusing on atomic-scale synthesis, interfaces, nanostructures and emergent electronic, optical and magnetic properties for advanced materials applications.

The group's theme is to explore, innovate and translate mechanobio-inspired micro & nanotechnologies for biomedical applications.

The group is particularly interested in discovering novel nanobiology of nanomaterials. Some of this nanobiology is detrimental to the organism's well being and some is beneficial. The differentiation of either conclusion depends heavily on our understanding of how nanomaterials interact with biological systems. The group approaches their work from an observation initiated and hypothesis driven manner. From these findings, they aim to develop nanoparticle specific rules that drive certain cell effect. Understanding these rules helps to design better nanoparticles.

The group's research is at the interface of cell biology, biophysics, and advanced imaging technology. They develop and apply superresolution microscopy and advanced imaging techniques to understand how cells built complex nanoscale machines from basic biomolecular building blocks to perform vital biological functions.

The minor programme in Nanoscience is offered by the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Physics at the Faculty of Science.

Graphene is a new age multifunctional material. As chemists, we are engaged in the growth, processing, derivatizing of graphene to make dna sensors, hybrids for solar cells, membrane for water purification. We hope to improve the quality of human life by researching on graphene, which we believe to be a fundamental building block for many useful devices.

The Environmental Nanoscience Initiative was set up by NERC, Defra and the Environment Agency in the UK to begin to answer some questions of basic nanosciences research; into fate and behavior, ecotoxicology and ecological effects of engineering nanoparticles.
