What we do

Research

We manipulate matter on the smallest of scales to create materials with emergent properties — novel and sometimes surprising features arising from the interactions of many bodies.

By synthesizing, assembling, combining and organizing nanoscale building blocks, we design technologies that enhance the quality of human lives in the domains of health, energy, sensory augmentation and self-expression. Every project below sits somewhere across the lab's three themes; the coloured bar under each title shows where.
