The function of iNANO
NANO is SMALL• The Greek word nanos means dwarf
• 1 nanometer = 10-9 m = 0.000000001 m

Interdisciplinary Nanoscience
iNANO mission: • Education: New Master program• iNANO graduate school (www.inanoschool.dk)• Research within nanoscience• Innovation, Technology transfer to Industry
From Nanoscience to Nanotechnology • International collaborations
Interdisciplinary
• Nanoscience is an interdisciplinary research area involving disciplines such as physics, chemistry, molecular biology, medicine and materials science.
• To do research in before mentioned disciplines it is necessary to be interdisciplinary.
• In nanoscience the boundaries between the classical disciplines are wiped out.
• Interdisciplinary skills are increasingly demanding skills requested by the industry and research community.
iNANO research areas
• Nano-Energy-materials– Catalysis, energy storage, solar cells, thermoelectric-materials
• NanoFood – Biosensors, anti-biofouling surfaces, functional food, food safety
• NanoMedicine– Drug delivery and design, diagnostics, biocompatible materials
• Functional Nano-materials– Nanocoatings, tribological coatings, nano-composits,
polymers, nano-fibers, atomic-scale design of materials.
• Nano-photonics and nano-electronics – Semiconductor nanocrystals
• Self-assembled molecular nano-structures– DNA nanostructures, 2D molecular surface structures
