One of the primary
goal of the California Institute of
Nanotechnology (CINANO) is conduct research and development
in the frontier of nanotechnology with
its wide spectrum of applications in the biomedical,
semiconductor and alternative energy (bio-fuel and solar
system products)
Research projects:
Our scientists are currently working with
partners in the industry and academia focusing a number
of research projects, such as:
1.
Improvement of purification and quality
control of uniformity of carbon nanotubes .
2. Trouble shooting manufacturing
scalability to improve production yields in partnership
with industry partners.
3. Bio-Sensors:
development of a bio-nano-sensor system for detecting of
toxin and toxic nanoparticles in food and biological
products.
4. Targeted Nanoscale Drug Delivery Sustem:
development of a novel Nano Drug Delivery System to
carry potent anti-cancer anti-biotic to certain targeted
cancerous areas to optimize therapeutic treatment while
minimizing the toxic effect of chemotherapy.
5. Fuel Cells:
Further development electro-catalysis replacement of
Platinum based electrodes to improve yields and cost of
large scale production. The fuel cell can be potentially
developed into a nanoscale solar system which is a
rugged, reliable, thin film at affordable cost for large
scale production.
6. Nanocrystalline materials, Nanoscale thin-film materials
and Nano-Organic materials for the development of solar
energy system products.
