Other Nano-(bio-)technologies
Manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscopic objects or to be used to produce quasi-mechanical movements in response to specific stimuli (including molecular machines such as motors, fluid propellers, tweezers and switches).
LENS (Florence, Italy)
LENS, the European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy, is a center of excellence at the University of Florence. Research interests include photonics, biophysics, chemistry and atomic physics. Three different main research areas (BIOPHOTONICS, PHOTONIC MATERIALS, ATOMIC PHYSICS) and more than twenty research topics, corresponding to active laboratories, are presently running.
LP3 (Marseille, France)
LP3 is a multidisciplinary academic laboratory of excellence. Its major activities focus on: i) generation of secondary sources such as hard X-ray by laser-induced plasma technology ii) fundamentals and technological research of laser-matter interactions and iii) development of laser-based processes. The main applications are related to laser structuration and fabrication with major outcomes in photonics, microelectronics, medicine and laser-based diagnostics.
