Research in Nanotechnology

  • Use of Scanning Tunnelling
  • Microscope to probe the shapes of individual molecules, particularly DNA and DNA bases in order to eventually be able to identify molecules one at a time for sequencing purposes or to probe DNA and protein interactions
  • DNA chips
  • Biosensor development
  • Atomic force
  • Microscopy of biomolecules
  • Enabling surface structures for superior sensor and detector design
  • Controlled surface structures for atomic and molecular devices
  • Surface phenomena of atoms, molecules and clusters
  • Adsorption, desorption, self-assembly, catalytic and kinetic processes
