Nanotechnology Research - Universities

A University of New Mexico shared user facility providing electron microscopy and nanoscale materials characterization, including aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and focused ion beam instrumentation.

Nanoscience at the University of New Mexico is a member of NNIN

The center's efforts are aimed at improving health by enhancing the efficacy and safety of new drugs and imaging agents through the discovery and application of innovative methods of drug delivery.

The Ph.D. in Nanoscale Science at UNC Charlotte is an interdisciplinary program that addresses the development, manipulation, and use of materials and devices on the scale of roughly 1-100 nanometers in length, and the study of phenomena that occur on this size scale. The program prepares students to become scholarly, practicing scientists who possess the critical thinking, methodological, and communication skills required to advance and disseminate knowledge of fundamental and applied nanoscale science.

The Center for Nano Science and Technology explores new device concepts and associated architectures that are enabled by novel phenomena on the nanometer scale. It catalyzes multidisciplinary research and education in nanoelectronics, molecular electronics, nano-bio and bio-fluidic microstructures, circuits, and architectures. It facilitates collaborations between participating faculty from the departments of electrical engineering, computer science and engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry and biochemistry, and physics.

The experimental nanoscale physics group of A.T. Charlie Johnson studies charge, energy, and spin transport in carbon nanotubes, graphene, and other two-dimensional materials and builds hybrid nanomaterial biosensors.

The Device Research and Engineering Laboratory of Deep Jariwala designs nanometer- and atomic-scale devices from two-dimensional and layered materials and their heterostructures for computing, sensing, and energy applications.

The laboratory of Marija Drndic fabricates and studies solid-state nanopores and atomically thin two-dimensional materials for single-molecule detection, nanoscale electronic devices, and DNA and biomolecule analysis.

The research group of Cherie Kagan studies the chemical and physical properties of nanostructured materials and integrates nanocrystals and plasmonic nanostructures into electronic, optical, and optoelectronic devices and metamaterials.

A center for interdisciplinary materials research at the University of Pennsylvania and home of its NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center, supporting shared facilities for the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured and soft materials.
