Research by sector

Nanotechnology, manipulation on the sub-microscopic scale, allows properties of materials to be altered, the invisibly small to be imaged and new phenomena to be explored. As a field, it has implications in nearly all industries, from oil and gas to medicine.

	Healthcare The LCN has developed novel diagnostic devices and techniques, imaging and platform technologies for the investigation and treatment of disease.
