Nanotechnology Research Laboratories

The Center for Brain-Inspired Computing (BRAINS) combines core expertise in nanoscience and nanotechnology with expertise from computer science, applied mathematics, artificial intelligence and neuroscience, to lay the scientific foundations for a new generation of powerful, energy-efficient computing hardware.

The group investigates photonic band gap crystals, Anderson localization and diffusion of light, random lasers and related phenomena.

The Industrial Focus Group XUV Optics performs nanoscale thin-film research and develops extreme-ultraviolet and soft X-ray optics for photolithography, materials analysis, space telescopes and microscopy.

Inorganic Materials Science studies thin-film growth and nanostructuring of complex oxide materials such as ferroelectrics, multiferroics and transparent conducting oxides, for applications in nanoelectronics, spintronics, photonics and energy.

Integrated Optical Systems develops key enabling technologies for integrated photonics, including low-loss and high-gain waveguide platforms and three-dimensional photonic architectures, fabricated in the MESA+ cleanroom.

Interfaces and Correlated Electrons studies materials and interfaces with unconventional electronic properties, including topological superconductivity and correlated-electron systems probed with scanning SQUID microscopy.

MESA+ institute for nanotechnology, trains graduate students and PhD-students and conducts research in the fields of nanotechnology, microsystems, materials science and microelectronics. Unique of MESA+ is its multidisciplinary composition. Many research groups of the faculties Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science (EEMCS) and Science and Technology (S&T) participate in the MESA+ institute.

Mesoscale Chemical Systems combines micro- and nanofabrication with fluid handling to build three-dimensional electronic, photonic and catalytic structures and microfluidic systems, drawing on the MESA+ NanoLab facilities.

Molecular Nanofabrication develops molecular and supramolecular approaches to nanofabrication, including self-assembled monolayers and surface functionalization for nanoscale devices and biosensors.

The MSc Nanotechnology is a 2 year programme for anybody having a BSc degree in any applied science. The educational programme is offering you a multidisciplinary approach to this new emerging field, forming an excellent preparation for a scientific career both at the university or in industry.

Nanobiophysics is a multidisciplinary group studying proteins and intrinsically disordered proteins at the molecular scale using advanced microscopy and single-molecule techniques at the interface of nanotechnology and biology.

The Nano Electronic Materials cluster specialises in creating and characterising thin films and in designing, modelling and constructing low-dimensional nanomaterials for electronic and optical applications.

Nonlinear Nanophotonics studies advanced integrated photonic structures that enhance and control nonlinear and optomechanical interactions of light with matter, targeting microwave-photonic signal processing and advanced light sources.

The Organ-on-Chip Centre Twente is a MESA+ and TechMed centre of expertise developing the next generation of organs-on-chips, including shared infrastructure, an open technology platform and validation of human-relevant disease models.

Physics of Interfaces and Nanomaterials investigates low-dimensional nanostructures and two-dimensional quantum materials including graphene and topological insulators, targeting low-energy nanoelectronics and functionalized interfaces.

(German language site) The center's objectives are technology and know-how transfer; to develop dedicated solutions and materials; to develop market-oriented innovative products by utilising the know-how of the partners

The focus point for a variety of individual and collaborative research within various colleges and departments at the university.

CAMTEC is a research centre committed to interdisciplinary work on advanced materials and technology.

Studies the physics of low-dimensional and nanostructured materials, including graphene and other two-dimensional materials and nanocrystalline metals, using aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy.

Research interests of the group is focused on quantum nanophysics with large molecules and nanoparticles: Matter-wave coherence, interference and decoherence; Quantum-enhanced molecule & cluster metrology; New trapping and cooling schemes; New molecular beam and detection methods.

Runs the Solid State Spectroscopy research group at the University of Vienna.

The research activity of the Functional Nanobiomaterialsy Group is focused on the synthesis and formation mechanisms of metal, semiconductor, magnetic and hybrid nanoparticles with controlled composition, size and morphology; the creation of colloidal composites; nanostructured thin films and nanoparticle ordered arrays in two and three dimensions; the optical characterization of nanoparticles and their assemblies; and the use of metal nanoparticles as biosensors. The group is closely linked to the BioNanoPlasmonics Lab at CIC biomaGUNE.

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.
