Nanotechnology Research Laboratories

The mission of NanoSYD is to establish nanotechnology in the region of Southern Denmark around new and existing focus areas and niche competences and to bridge basic science and technology along micro- and nanotechnologies.

The center's research focuses on improving the performance of device incl. their reliability and stability, as well as on up-scaling, and bridge the academic field to industrial development. Here, devices from organic molecules and polymers include solar cells, transistors, diodes, and sensors.

Various centers and research groups that are dealing with nanoscale polymer research.

Nanometrology, nucleic acid chemistry and the use chemical manipulation to produce new methods of bioanalysis for collaborative projects involving SERRS, microfl uidics and enzyme monitoring by SERRS.

Nanoscience is the most diverse division in Physics at Strathclyde. It reflects the broad range of scientific areas in which nanotechnology (the use of very small objects) will impact upon our future lives.

The group has broad interests in the interaction of optical, electric, and magnetic fields with matter at small length scales. They work on new 3-D fabrication methods, self-assembly, actuation, and propulsion. They have observed a number of fundamental effects and are developing new experimental techniques and instruments.

The focus of our research is to synthesize molecules whose ability to selectively recognize biomolecular targets is improved over that of unmodified biomolecules and to employ this capability to develop new functional entities. The molecular recognition phenomena of interest include the recognition of transition states, i.e. the generation of new biomimetic catalysts.

The Advanced Technology Institute is an interdisciplinary research centre dedicated to advancing next-generation electronic and photonic device technologies.

The programme's broad theme is the practical implementation of nanoscience and quantum engineering, nanomaterials and nanotechnology. The programme covers the fundamentals behind nanotechnology and moves on to discuss its implementation using nanomaterials - such as graphene - and the use of advanced tools of nanotechnology which allow us to see at the nanoscale, before discussing future trends and applications for energy generation and storage.

Research within the group can be broken largely into four themes; Nanotechnology (STM, FIB), Nanobiology, Carbon Based Electronics, Microwave Electronics and Devices and Large Area Electronics and Photonics.

Sydney Nano is the University of Sydney's latest step in the creation of flexible, interdisciplinary institutes that are devoted to bringing the best people and infrastructure together in the support of frontier research.

The group's research enables nanodevices and integrated systems with ultralow energy consumption, minimising all the parasitic energy (electrical, thermal, mechanical) losses which make devices power-hungry and less performant. Low energy consumption needs to be complemented with efficient energy storage and an appropriate system design. Nanomaterials like graphene and novel 2D materials are key enablers.

The group's mission is to develop novel semiconductor materials and devices to address a few issues facing today's semiconductor industry, and more generally, our society. Research focuses on semiconductor surfaces, interfaces, and thin films.

Nano-Bio-Physics is a new and interdisciplinary program being developed at UTA Physics department. The goal is to develop a strong research and education program among nanotechnology, biotechnology and Physics.

The Nanotechnology Research & Teaching Facility is an interdisciplinary resource open to scientists within and outside of the University. Research activities are conducted through mutually-beneficial associations of chemistry, electrical engineering, mechanical and aerospace engineering, materials science and physics faculty, graduate students and research assistants at UTA, as well as collaborative efforts with investigators at other universities and in the private sector.

The group conducts basic and applied research at the frontier of nanomaterials, bioelectronics, memory devices and applications, flexible nanoelectronics, energy and sensor devices, RF circuits and electromagnetics.

The Ellington Lab conducts research in synthetic biology, protein engineering and DNA nanotechnology, including point-of-care diagnostics, DNA computation, scalable assembly of protein architectures and programmed biomaterials.

The Integrated Nano Computing Lab, led by Prof. Jean Anne Incorvia, develops practical nano-devices for future computing by studying emerging materials and bridging materials, devices, circuits and systems. Research areas include magnetic logic devices, neuromorphic computing, spintronics using 2D TMD materials, magnetic tunnel junction materials, and ultra-scaled transistors using 2D materials.

The experimental group investigates size-tunable material properties and the self-assembly and fabrication of nanostructures, with applications in microelectronics, photonics, photovoltaics, spintronics, coatings, sensors and biotechnology.

The Lu Research Group works at the interface of chemistry and biology, developing chemical and biological tools to understand and engineer living systems. Its research spans biosynthetic inorganic chemistry, biocatalysis, bioanalytical sensing, functional DNA nanotechnology, gene editing, and spatiotemporal omics, with applications in medicine, energy, materials, and biotechnology.

The Lu Research Group explores the use of DNA for fine control of nanomaterial morphology, precise spatial control of nanoparticle positions, orientations and distances, and dynamic temporal control of nanomaterial assembly for optical, catalytic and biomedical applications.

A member of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN).

The group is exploring the growth and electronic properties of quantum confined systems, such as semiconductor nanowires and graphene, for novel high speed, low power electronic devices. They are interested in band engineered Ge-SiGe core-shell nanowires and field-effect transistors, spin transport in germanium nanowires, and the electronic properties of graphene bilayers.

Prof. Fan's research program focuses on manufacturing, manipulation, robotization, and assembly of micro/nanostructured materials via understanding and exploiting fundamental materials science, physics, and chemistry. The applications include micro/nanorobotics, stimulus responsive devices, biochemical sensing, single-cell biocue delivery, flexible three-dimensional (3D) porous catalyts, solar steaming for water treatment, and self-powered systems.

The lab's research is focused on the design and implementation of processes and equipment to manufacture nanoscale materials and devices. The focus is on three areas: 1) develop new assembly methods to better integrate nanomaterials into micro/macroscale devices; 2) increase manufacturability of nanoscale systems through improved device design; and 3) improve quality and throughput of nanoscale device manufacturing through the design and fabrication of novel nanomanufacturing equipment and processes.
