The University of Cincinnati Nanoworld and Smart Materials and Devices Laboratory
The UC Nanoworld and Smart Materials and Devices Laboratory develops innovative smart materials, sensors, and devices with the main concentration of research in the nanotechnology, biomimetics, composites, and smart structures fields.
Nanoworld’s comprehensive web site provides details on the lab’s Research, which is divided into three main concentrations – carbon nanotube synthesis, biosensors, and structural health monitoring. Also included on the research page are research videos and links to research overviews and presentations.
Additional webpages contain extensive information on the lab’s publications; patents; collaborators including general nano LLC, a University of Cincinnati nanotechnology company spin-off, conferences, news, courses, and people.
Owlstone
www.owlstonenanotech.com/site.php
Owlstone, with offices in the UK and the US, is a company that has developed a complete chemical detection system on a chip using leading-edge micro- and nano-fabrication techniques.
Owlstone’s homepage highlights its latest news and its field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometer (FAIMS) products, which rapidly monitor a broad range of chemicals at very low quantities.
Other tabs feature information on Owlstone’s markets and applications; technology; management; and careers. Product videos, slideshows, white papers, and presentations are available on this well-organized site.
Nano Research Group
The Nano Research Group is part of the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton. Its research is focused on fabrication and engineering at the nanometre-length scale to produce a wide range novel devices and integrated systems.
The Nano Group’s web site is divided into three main parts. The research themes provides links to its area of research, which include: nanotechnology and nanoelectronics, quantum information technology, micro and nanoelectromechanical systems, nanophotonics, bionanotechnology and lab on a chip, RF systems, and biomimetics. The other two divisions of the site provide descriptions of the Southampton Nanofabrication Centre, a state-of-the-art facility for nanofabrication and characterization; as well as an overview of the Nano Group, its people, PhD opportunities, consultancy, and events.
