Nanomaterials and Nanoengineering
The understanding of nanoscale materials and device performance is at the centre of our activities, bridging the fields of advanced characterisation, sub-nanometre microscopy, nanomanipulation, and atomistic modelling.

Our nanomaterials and nanoengineering research is divided into three sub-themes:
- Advanced Characterisation
- Nanomanipulation
- Nano Devices and Interfaces
Research centres and groups
Many new nanotechnology research fields require a high degree of precision in imaging, manipulating, and modelling of materials down to ultimately the atomic level - the Sheffield NanoLAB and Modelling centres undertake developments of new methods and applications across a wide range of materials fields, including nanocomposites, ceramics, semiconductors, metals and biomaterials.
Sheffield NanoLAB: A research centre for nanomaterials, nanometrology, nanomography and nanomanipulation, carrying out research in in-situ microscopy, tomography and dopant contrast.
