Welcome! UNDER CONSTRUCTION

We are the Materials and Interface NanoTechnology Laboratory at the University of Maryland. The research group is led by Prof. Oded Rabin of the Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering and the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics.

Our mission is to understand and exploit interactions between inorganic nanoscale objects and their chemical and physical environment. Our efforts involve chemical synthesis, materials characterization, and proof-of-principle devices fabrication.

The Materials and Interface NanoTechnology Laboratory conducts research in a wide variety of topics related to nanoscience and nanotechnology. Our central goal is to explore the new physics that emerges from shrinking the dimensions of materials to the nanoscale, and to identify the significance of the new science for an array of applied fields such as sensing, energy, and biomedicine.
Below are some current and proposed research projects:

• Directed self-assembly of silver nanocubes for SERS (Raman) sensing.
  
• Bulk nanostructures as improved thermoelectric materials.
  
• Eutectic nanowires - structure and transport
  
• Nanoparticle formulations for x-ray tomography (medical imaging)
  
• Nanofluidic channels
