Nanotechnology Research Laboratories

The Nanoelectronics Research Centre provides a focus for diverse research activities within the University of Glasgow linked by a common interest in Nanoelectronics and Nanofabrication.

The lab carries out research in the underlying science of optical processes in semiconductor nanostructures, i.e., device-relevant science.

A dedicated laboratory offers nanotechnology services.

The network brings together well established research groups and industrial concerns in complementary fields of precision engineering and nanometrology in the UK.

The programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge, understanding, skills, qualities and other attributes in chemistry with a nanotechnology focus.

The SOMS Centre is an interdisciplinary research centre where chemists, physicists, biologists and engineers seek to understand the science of molecular self-assembly and self-organisation, to engineer new functional exploitable materials and devices.

This interdisciplinary group is researching the formation, structure, dynamics and interactions of matter at the molecular and nanoscale.

Accelerating materials discovery through collocation of industry and academia, and the use of robotics and high-performing computing.

The programme starts in late September each year and is divided into three approximately equal periods. The first and second periods consist of lectures, laboratory classes, seminars and similar material. In the third period, students undertake an individually supervised project on a topic relevant to their special interests.

The current research themes of the SSRC cut across the disciplines of chemistry, physics, biology and materials science, and combine the efforts of both experimentalists and theoreticians. The overarching ambition of this work is to achieve nanoscale control, design and assembly of function.
