Tel Aviv University has established the TAU Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology TAU-NST. The TAU-NST Center encompasses activities coordinated with four faculties: Exact Sciences, Engineering, Life Sciences and Medicine.
The central facility of the University Research Institute for NanoScience and NanoTechnology is currently under constructions. Encompassing about 1300 sq. meters, the facility will include a nanofabrication facility and support labs. The newly designed facility and state of the art equipment will allow realization and general characterization of nano-structures.
- This facility will consist of several laboratories with the following functions:
- Lithography - optical, holographic, electron beam writing
- Semiconductor nanostructures growth and deposition
- Thin film dielectrics and metal deposition
- Dry and wet chemical etching
- Electron microscopy - high resolution and environmental scanning electron microscopes
- Atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy
- Molecular biology fabrication laboratory

After the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene," even more research and development efforts have been focused on two-dimensional nanostructures. Illustrating the importance of this area in future applications, Two-Dimensional Nanostructures covers the fabrication methods and properties of these materials.
While the interdisciplinary field of materials science and engineering is relatively new, remarkable developments in materials have emerged for biological and medical applications, from biocompatible polymers in medical devices to the use of carbon nanotubes as drug delivery vehicles. Exploring these materials and applications, Materials in Biology and Medicine presents the background and real-world examples of advanced materials in biomedical engineering, biology, and medicine.
Dr. Kuo's research interests include: Translation Medical Systems, systems biology, genomics, and cancer.
