Materials & Manufacturing

The physical basis for nanomaterials research

We aim to understand how nanomaterials form and how their properties emerge from their atomic and nanoscale structure. We explore both physical and chemical synthesis methods to generate nanostructured materials for fundamental research, future nanotechnology and industrial production.
