The Department of Nano Fusion Technology provides interdisciplinary education in nanoscience, biotechnology, and nanoelectronics. Graduate students acquire a broad background in nanosystems, nanomolecules, and biomaterials used in energy, environmental, and healthcare applications.

The Quantum Circuits and Correlations group of the Low Temperature Laboratory investigates fundamental quantum phenomena in superconducting nanostructures and hybrid devices. Its work includes superconducting quantum technology, Josephson junctions, 2D-material hybrid devices, quantum amplifiers, entanglement, force sensing and nano- and microfabrication facilities.

The Palma Group focuses on controlled assembly of functional nanostructures with nanoscale spatial resolution towards single-molecule control, using carbon nanotubes, 2D nanomaterials and DNA origami for optoelectronics, biosensing and single-molecule biological investigations.

The Advanced Composites Research Group, within the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers, focussing on the science and engineering of composite materials and structures.

The research carried out by the Centre covers two themes, nanoscale functional materials and devices and nanooptics and plasmonics.

The aim of IMM is to conduct research in the field of functional molecular structures and materials. There is an emphasis on understanding and controlling complexity in order to be able to design new functionality in these systems. This research area can roughly be divided into two main themes: bio-inspired systems and nano/mesoscopic structures.
