Kavli Institute of Nanoscience
Welcome to the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft. In 2004 the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft was established at the Department of NanoScience, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Delft University of Technology through a generous grant by the US-based Kavli foundation .
The Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at Delft University of Technology consists of seven research groups and a nanofabrication cleanroom facility. With a staff of 16 professors and over 90 PhD students and postdocs, the Institute studies new physics and exploits novel principles in nanostructured devices with a new functionality. The nanostructures vary from superconductors to biopolymers and are obtained from nature or fabricated with bottom-up methods (starting with atoms or molecules) or top-down techniques (such as electron-beam lithography).
Research groups
The Kavli Institute of Nanoscience consists of seven research groups and a nanofacility cleanroom, all aimed at innovative research at the current frontier of science on a nano-scale.

Latest news
Nano violin string by Delft researchers in Science
Researchers at TU Delft have succeeded in measuring the influence of a single electron on a vibrating carbon nanotube. This research can be important for work such as the development of ultra-small measuring instruments. The scientists have published their results on Thursday 23 July in (the online version of) the scientific journal Science. (read more)
