Nanoscience

The Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at Delft University of Technology studies new physics and exploits novel principles in nanostructured devices with a new functionality. The nanostructures vary from superconductors to biopolymers and are obtained from nature or fabricated with bottom-up methods (starting with atoms or molecules) or top-down techniques (such as electron-beam lithography).

The Institute consists of several research groups and a nanofabrication cleanroom facility. With a staff of 16 professors and over 90 PhD students and postdocs.

Besides participating in the Applied Physics MSc programme the department also participates in the MSc programme in NanoScience together with Leiden University and in the ErasmusMundus MSc programme in Nanoscience & Nanotechnology together with Leiden University, KU Leuven (Belgium), Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) and TU Dresden (Germany).
