Nanotechnology is the science and technology related to atomic and molecular dimensions. In the nanoworld traditional scientific disciplines converge. By understanding and controlling the fundamental building blocks in nature, it is believed that it is at this level discoveries will be made and technologies will be developed that will mark this century.
The aim of NTNU NanoLab is to establish a cross-disciplinary research environment for researchers within the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, electrical engineering, materials technology and medical research. Additionally new laboratories, open for all researchers at the university interested in nanotechnological research, are established.
The research activities at NTNU span from theoretical to experimental, from fundamental to applied research. NTNU NanoLab will focus on four prioritized research areas: nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and nanomagnetism, nanostructured materials, bionanotechnology and nanotechnology for energy and the environment.
