Research Focus:

In 1959, Richard Phillips Feynman (Nobel Laureate, Physics, 1965), the American theoretical physicist in his now-famous visionary talk on There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom explored the immense possibilities afforded by miniturization and consequently established the foundation for the future wonders of nanoscience and nanotechnology. What was supposed to be impossible then, now is the real world - the nano world. At present, after more then half a century later, nobody would doubt considering the twenty-first century as the "Nano Era." Nanoscience and nanotechnology are based on the smallest unit of matter to engineer new materials and devices through monitoring atom-by-atom and molecule-by-molecule, targeting at achieving superior or unprecedented properties and performance, utilizing the atomic - or molecular - scale architectures.        

The research of the team is focused on material synthesis, property evaluation and applications.
