Welcome to the University of Nottingham Nanoscience Group Homepage
The research programmes of the Nottingham Nanoscience group span a range of exciting and topical themes in state-of-the-art nanoscale science. Housed in a suite of recently refurbished laboratories containing an excellent equipment base, our core activities are focussed on understanding and controlling the structure and behaviour of condensed matter on length scales ranging from the single molecule limit to micron dimensions. In early '07, the School of Physics and Astronomy in which the group is based opened a new multidisciplinary Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Centre which will promote the development of many exciting intra- and inter-University collaborations.
