Nanotechnology Research - Universities in Canada

A shared micro- and nanofabrication facility that provides access to state-of-the-art equipment and expertise for researchers from academia, industry, and government developing micro- and nanotechnologies.

Laboratory for Sustainable Agricultural Food and Environmental Applications of Nanotechnology. Research focuses on nanosafety in food and safety-assured nanotechnology applications for food security, including delivery of therapeutics, vaccines, and micronutrients to plants and animals.

The group's research focuses on the application and development of advanced microscopy techniques to study the structure of materials at very high spatial resolution. The core area of research is based on transmission electron microscopy methods but they also use scanning probe techniques and other characterization techniques to provide information on how the structure of materials affects the properties these materials exhibit.

The Research center NanoQAM is a grouping of five laboratories in nanotechnologies of the Université du Québec à Montréal which offer their knowledge and expertise in nanomanufacturing using polymers, development of high-energy nanomaterials, renewable energies, nanoimaging, green chemistry as well as the development of biological membranes, biomaterials and biosensors. NanoQAM allows access to its infrastructures and scientific equipment, either for industries and other academic institutions.

The two year program will provide graduates with the skills to operate systems and equipment associated with Canada's emerging nanotechnology industry and lead to a Diploma in Nanotechnology Systems.

The Laser Processing and Plasmonic Laboratory develops diagnostic and therapeutic technologies based on plasmonic and optical properties of colloidal nanoparticles. Research activities include femtosecond engineering, biomedical nanotechnology, plasmonic nanobiosensors, and laser nanosurgery.

A research laboratory working on group IV semiconductors for integrated quantum technologies, shaping materials down to the atomic level and harnessing their properties in innovative nanoscale and quantum devices.

A laboratory focused on developing instrumented platforms and techniques for nanorobotics by exploiting properties of molecular-scale entities, with applications in medicine, bioengineering, nanomanufacturing, and high-throughput automatic operations at the nanoscale.

A multidisciplinary research center with expertise and scientific infrastructure dedicated to the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials and nanometric systems, with research areas including nanosciences, nanomaterials, nanostructures, green chemistry, energy, and energy storage.

This options provides an introduction to the processes involved in the fabrication of nanoscale integrated circuits and to the computer aided design (CAD) tools necessary for the engineering of large scale system on a chip. By selecting this option, students will learn about fault tolerance in nanoscale systems and gain an understanding of quantum phenomena in systems design.
