Research

All the research done in the IRC can be broken down into four main themes. These are:

1. Theory (Modelling Charge Transport in Conducting Polymers and Biological Systems)
2. Biology (Nanomechanics and Energy Dissipation: From Single Biomolecules to Integrated Cellular Systems)
3. Nanomaterials (Nanomaterials: Exploiting the Hard-Soft Interface for Scalable Fabrication of Nanostructured Devices and Materials)
4. Characterisation (Development of Tools for Molecular Scale Characterisation)

There is also an exploratory project relating to the social dimensions of Nanotechnology that can be seen here:

• Social Dimensions of Nanotechnology

Clicking on each of these thematic links will bring up a list of the main core projects and also the exploratory projects following on from them. The first name is the abbreviation of the theme used for ease of reference on the site, the full name follows in brackets.
