Research Areas
According to NINT's research plan, the institute's research focus is in the following areas:
- Synthesis and characterization of nanocrystals and nanowires
- Synthesis of supramolecular-based nanomaterials
- Fabrication and characterization of molecular-scale devices and nanosensors
- Development of nano-scaled materials for catalysis and directed chemical reactions at semiconductor surfaces
- Development of nano-electronic and nano-fluidic systems to interface devices to the outside world
- Theory, modeling, and simulation of nanosystems on multiple length scales
- Development of quantitative imaging and characterization techniques that support nanotechnology research
- Examination of the ethical, environmental, economic, legal and social issues of nanotechnology
- Research on nano-bioengineering such as protein design and genetic engineering of novel behaviours
- Development of nanoelectricalmechanical systems (NEMS), such as lab-on-a-chip devices

“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” [Was will das Weib?]”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas ... a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.”
