Nanoscience at the University of New Mexico is a user facility providing rapid access to state-of-the-art equipment for academia and industry, to enable nanoscience research.

Research activity at Nanoscience is limited only by the interests and imagination of our users. Our expertise includes:

  • nanoscale interferometric lithography
  • self-assembly of nanocomposite soft/hard materials
  • nanoscale catalysis, and nano-geo-bio-chemistry. 
  • epitaxial growth of self-assembled quantum nanostructures (quantum dots)
  • field-emitter tips
  • photonic crystal lasers
  • nanomechanics
  • fiber sensors, molecular electronics, and nanomagnetics
  • synthesis and characterization of nanophase catalytic material
  • mesoporous natural materials and their potential for environmental remediation
  • geomicrobiology and biogeochemistry
  • interactions of microbes and minerals in extreme biological environments
  • mineralogy and geochemistry of low temperature nanophase materials
  • volcanic aerosols
  • early solar system processes involving nanophase materials
