Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology at Glasgow is bringing together the expertise of more than 70 academics across interdisciplinary groups to influence the emergent technology of the 21st century.

We specialise in five key areas:-

• nanotechnology for engineering systems
• nanotechnology for biomedicine
• tools for nanotechnology
• nanotechnology for structural and functional materials; and
• nanoelectronics

State-of-the-art facilities

The University’s new James Watt Nanofabrication Centre (JWNC) has comprehensive micro and nanofabrication facilities housed within 750 m² of cleanroom space, including one of the most advanced large area high resolution electron beam lithography tools in the world. More than 1,600 patterning jobs have been written on our VB6 UHR EWF lithography tool during the past year.

Working with industry

Working through JWNC, Kelvin Nanotechnology Ltd (KNT) provides nanofabrication solutions for industry, producing high-end nanofabricated devices and prototypes for the bioelectronic, nanoelectronic, semiconductor and optoelectronic marketplaces. KNT is experienced in fabricating prototypes for tissue engineering, mico/nano fluidics and lab-on-a-chip applications.
