Nanonics Imaging, Ltd. is proud to be the Industrial Supporter of the Nanospec research project, spanning England, Germany, Scotland and Israel.

The project - Interfacing Carbon Nanotubes with Nanoantennas for Simultaneous Multifunctional Spectroscopy and Electrical Nanocharacterization - combines four cutting-edge research areas:

    * Plasmonic devices
    * Single molecule deposition and detection
    * Carbon nanotubes
    * Nanoelectrical measurements

The central aim is to design and investigate the interface between plasmonic nanoantennas and single molecules in order to allow for the simultaneous optical and electrical characterization of the nanosystems. The nanoantennas are used as an efficient channel for electromagnetic radiation from the far field to the nanometric volume occupied by the single molecule, therefore enhancing its interaction with radiation.

This collaborative project is funded by NanoScience Europe, whose aim is to promote the integration of the national research communities in nanoscience throughout the ERA (European Research Area).
