Nanotechnology Research - Universities

Research focuses on using nanophotonics and engineered light matter interactions to control, shape, and sense light. They study high performance optical circuits at the material, device and system level for applications in implantable and wearable biomedical devices, neuroscience, AR/VR displays, quantum information systems and emerging computing and communications systems.

The Duan Research Group works on hetero-integrated nanostructures and nanodevices, including two-dimensional layered materials, nanoscale hetero-integration, energy harvesting and nanoscale systems for biological interfaces.

The Nano Transport Research Group works on transport processes involving electrons, phonons, photons and fluids, with applications in energy transport, conversion and storage, aerospace, micro/nanoelectronics, sensors, advanced materials and manufacturing.

The Nanoelectronics Research Facility is part of the Elecetrical Engineering Department at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The Paul S. Weiss Group is an interdisciplinary group of scientists, engineers and clinicians researching the ultimate limits of miniaturization to develop new chemical understanding of the physical and biological world.

Research in the group focuses around two intertwined goals. These are first, to create complex materials with nanoscale periodicity using self-organization, and second, to produce new physical properties because of that nanoscale architecture.

Vaults are components of cells that were first described in 1986. Because the particle is abundant in all cells of higher organisms and highly conserved throughout evolution, it is likely that the function of the vault is important to life. This website is designed for the educated non-scientist. It summarizes the present state of knowlege of this fascinating particle.

The SMALLab deals with Small Tech, such as BioMEMS, microfluidics, and nanobiotechnology to build various nanobiosensors and microactuators.

This first-of-its-kind dual degree program provides pioneering education and training in both medicine and nanoscale science research, preparing a new generation of professionals for exciting 21st century careers as world-class research physicians in the emerging science and practice of nanomedicine.

CNSE's Nanoscale Engineering program provides corresponding skill and expertise in the design, fabrication, and integration of nanoscale devices, structures, and systems for the development and deployment of emerging nanotechnologies.
