Nanotechnology Research - Universities

The Liu Laboratory at Duke University pursues research in the field of nanomaterials, synthesizing and studying materials with size of nanometers.

The Energy and Environmental Technology Applications Center (E2TAC) addresses the needs of advanced energy and environmental applications by leveraging the intellectual power base and state-of-the-art infrastructure at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) and making use of its extensive capabilities in microelectronics and nanotechnology.

The Ke Lab in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Emory University and Georgia Tech uses structural DNA nanotechnology, including DNA origami and DNA bricks, to build programmable nanostructures and nanodevices for biophysics, biosensing, and drug delivery.

The Salaita Lab in the Department of Chemistry at Emory University develops DNA nanotechnology and DNA mechanotechnology, including molecular tension sensors and synthetic DNA motors that measure and apply piconewton forces in living cells.

The Surgical Oncology Nanomedicine Research Lab led by Lily Yang at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University develops theranostic nanoparticles and receptor-targeted nanoparticle agents for image-guided drug delivery and treatment of pancreatic and breast cancer.

This program is comprised of three major components: arts and sciences, electrical engineering technology, and free electives. The electrical engineering technology component consists of core and concentration requirements in addition to electrical technology elective credits.

The mission of AMERI is to enable the development of future technologies by combining open-access, and state-of-the-art analytical/fabrication tools with innovative research ideas from award-winning faculty and industry across South Florida and throughout the world.

The High-Performance Materials Institute at Florida State University is the pioneer in the process for manufacturing of carbon nanotube 'buckypapers'. The center has other research on-going in areas of nanotube systhesis, growth and nanocomposites.

INSI is an interdisciplinary initiative at Florida State University to foster a world-class program in the exciting emergent area of bio-nanoscience. The initiative builds on a solid foundation in bio-nanoscience at FSU that evolved from existing strengths in materials science, molecular and cell biology, chemical and biomedical engineering, chemistry and biochemistry, and physics.

The focus of research of this group is the synthesis, study and application of solid-state inorganic materials with technologically significant magnetic, electrical, optical, electrochemical or catalytic properties. Of particular interest are nanoscale (1 - 20 nm diameter) materials.
