CRANN

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CRANN, the Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices, is Ireland's first purpose-built Research Institute with a mission to advance the frontiers of nanoscience. Housed in the Naughton Institute on the campus of Trinity College, Dublin it is set to be finished in early 2007.

The three major research areas are Nano-Biology of Cell Surface Interactions, Bottom-Up Fabrication and Testing of Nanoscale Integrated Devices and Magnetic Nano-Structures and Devices.

The research teams will be lead by some principal investigators from Trinity including John Pethica, who is the director of the Naughton Institute.

'Crann' is the Irish word for tree.
