Description
The Multiscale Center is dedicated to research, development and innovation in the fields of micro- and nano-engineering, nanotechnology and nanoscience (among others). It is a multidisciplinary project involving various UPC research groups, with the objective of strengthening work in fundamental and applied research where different levels of complexity are present.
Research at the CCEM focuses on three scientific basic and applied pillars: health, energy and environment.
The main objectives of the infrastructure are to develop research in the following fields:
- Nanoparticle manipulation and study for electronic, communication and sensor applications.
- Mechanical, electrical and electronic properties of micro- and nanodevices, structures and biological systems.
- Multiscale analysis of coupled processes: complex system behavior.
- Nanoscale analysis of surfaces and reactivity.
- Simulation and modelling of nanometric systems and nanostructured materials.
- Manufacture, characterization and applications of micro- and nanometric layers.
- Integration of nanoscale devices in micro- and mesoscopy systems.
- Design, preparation and characterization of nanoparticles and their use in catalysis.
- Energy and environmental applications of nanoparticles and nanostructures in general.
