Nanotechnology Research - Universities in Denmark

Molecular Windows develops microfabricated chip systems and imaging methods to observe nanoscale chemical, physical and biological processes in gas and liquid phases.

Nano-Micro-Macro develops advanced electron microscopy methods for structural information about functional materials and nanostructures, including in situ and operando characterization.

Nanosystems Engineering develops micro- and nano-engineering methods based on silicon and polymer materials platforms, nanolithography, silicon etching, thin films, microfluidics and micro 3D printing.

Plasma Aided Nanotechnology focuses on plasma-based processes for growth, patterning and functionalization of 2D and 3D functional materials and nanostructures, including thin films and devices.

Polymer Microsystems develops micropatterned polymer materials and two-photon polymerization micro 3D printing for life science applications such as microrobots, scaffolds and micropatterned electrodes.

The MSc programme in Physics and Nanotechnology covers a wide range of technological, theoretical, and experimental techniques in modern physics. The applications include various topics, such as the development of nanostructured materials with tailor-made electrical, magnetic, optical, mechanical and chemical properties, manufacturing and integration of nano- and micro-components in systems design, modelling of complex biological systems, optical data processing and transfer, and the development of technologies for sourcing, storing, and converting sustainable energy - e.g. fuel cells and hydrogen technology.
