The group's research is focussed on the synthesis, characterization and applications of nanoparticles and assemblies thereof.

Nanoscale Materials Characterization Facility ? NMCF is located in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) in the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) at the University of Virginia (UVa) is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to microscopy and microanalysis of materials from atomic to microscopic levels.

The Institute for Nanoscale and Quantum Scientific and Technological Advanced Research (nanoSTAR) is a dedicated, multi-disciplinary team striving to advance research & development at the nanoscale. They have efforts in three main thrust areas: nano and quantum electronics, nanomedicine, and nanotechnology for energy and the environment.

Das Ziel der Ausbildung ist es, den Studierenden Kenntnisse auf den wichtigsten Teilgebieten der Nanostrukturtechnik zu vermitteln und sie mit den Methoden des ingenieurwissenschaftlichen und physikalischen Denkens und Arbeitens vertraut zu machen.

Als forschungsorientierter und zeitlich komprimierter Studiengang der Fakultät für Physik und Astronomie der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg wird der Studiengang FOKUS Physik-Nanostrukturtechnik im Rahmen des Elitenetzwerks Bayern (ENB) mit dem Abschluss Master of Science with Honors angeboten. Das Studium zum Master of Science bereitet auf die wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeiten in Forschung und Entwicklung im Fachgebiet Nanowissenschaften vor.

Das Studium zum Master of Science bereitet auf wissenschaftliche Tätigkeiten im Fachgebiet Nanostrukturtechnik vor. Es bereitet auch auf eine Promotion zum Dr. rer. nat. oder Dr.-Ing. vor. Das Ziel der Ausbildung ist es, den Studierenden vertiefte Kenntnis des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens in der Forschung und Anwendung der Nanowissenschaften und seiner inhaltlichen Grundlagen zu vermitteln.

The physics of quantum transport and its application in novel nanoelectronic device concepts represent main activities of the group's research. Based on monolithic designs they focus on the development of: nanoelectronic logics; single quantum dot memories; mesoscopic sensors.

The group mainly concentrates on the study of two-dimensional photonic crystals. A second research field is the integration of photonic crystals in semiconductor lasers.

As dimensions shrink to the nanometre range, and the range of applications broadens, silicon-based technology requires increasing input from the academic community and the Warwick Nano-Silicon Group is committed to playing a central role, both in the UK and on the world stage. Most of our work is in collaborative projects with partners from UK and other European universities, advanced research institutes such as IMEC and LETI, and from industry.

After admission to a participating department, graduate students can apply for our 'Option Ph.D. in Nanotechnology' program. Fulfillment of both departmental and Nanotechnology Program requirements will lead to a Ph. D. in Nanotechnology and the chosen discipline.

The Gao lab is interested in molecular diagnostic, optical labels, drug discovery and delivery.

The Institute for Nano-engineered Systems (NanoES) is an initiative of the College of Engineering. Its mission is to bring together faculty teams from across the college and the university to catalyze cutting-edge and translational research in the design, processing and integration of scalable nano-engineered devices and systems.

The NanoTech User Facility (NTUF) is available to both academic and industrial users nationwide. NTUF houses leading-edge instruments for characterization and fabrication at the micro- and nanoscales. Imaging tools include a field-emission scanning transmission electron microscope (S/TEM) with tomography capability, a field-emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy-dispersed spectrometry, a laser scanning confocal microscope, a Raman confocal microscope, a fluorescence microscope, and two Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs). Fabrication tools include a fully equipped soft lithography shop and electron beam lithography capability in the SEM.

The efforts within the Lab are focused on obtaining basic understanding of nanofabrication processes and device operation, applying that knowledge to produce better models, simulators and devices.
