Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Exploring and exploiting the new phenomena that arise from the behaviour of matter at the nanoscale (1-100 nm)

Nanodevices for Societal Challenges

ICN2 will use scientific knowledge generated in-house to develop new, disruptive solutions for the design, fabrication and integration of devices in three Core Areas:

Energy ICT Life

Nanodevices for Societal Challenges

Energy ICT Life

Nanomaterials Growth

Nanofabrication

Characterization & Metrology

Theory & Simulation

Progress in the three Core Areas will be supported by four Transversal Platforms:
