CAS Center for Excellence in Nanoscience

Background:

 In 2015, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) launched a new reform and  setup  the  “Center  for Excellence in  Nanoscience“  (CAS-CENano) to speed up the establishment of a  new model for scientific research. It is required for CAS-CENano to accumulate innovative talent, focus on the fore frontier of nanoscience, to achieve a major breakthrough and become an internationally visible organization. The CAS-CENano has  accumulated  75  key  PIs, including 2 academicians and 18 awardees of Distinguished Young Scholars by NSFC.

Focus:

  The CAS-CENano will focus on the precise construction and regulation of nanostructures from an atomic, molecular to a hierarchical higher level. These include the development of advanced nano-characterization technologies based on new methods  or new theories;  the hierarchical construction, fabrication and function development such as catalysis of nanomaterials cross various scales, the biomedical effects of nanomaterial and the possible applications of the nanomaterials to energy, environment and biomedicine.

Research Directions:

  The CAS-CENano set research directions in four main areas: (1) Subnanometer scale imaging and characterization of surface and interface (Nano Measurement); (2) Precise  assembly  and  functionalization  of  nanostructures  (Nano  Manufacturing);  (3) Nanostructures in energy harvesting and self-powered systems (Nano Energy); (4) System biological effect of nanostructure (Nano Biology).
