Israel is home to six world-class research institutions, each with its own advanced programs in nanoscience and nanotechnologies.
The INNI's 2007 nanotech R&D survey lists 325 Israeli research faculty working in nanotech-related fields today, confirming dramatic growth since our 2002 and 2005 surveys.
- Bar Ilan University
Home to the Bar Ilan Center for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology (BICAMN) which brings together the activities of 18 research groups in chemistry, physics and the life sciences.
- Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
Home to the Ilse Katz Center for Meso and Nanoscale Science focusing on fundamental research of nanoscale materials and the manipulation of matter at reduced dimensions.
- Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Home to the Harvey Krueger Center for Nanocience and Nanotechnology a multidisciplinary center that promotes interaction among University scientists in physics, applied and life sciences, and computer science and engineering.
- Technion Israel Institute of Technology
Home to the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute (RBNI) which unifies the work of more than 100 research faculty in 12 disciplines and supports existing centers in microelectronics, electron microscopy and surface characterization. The Institute will also provide infrastructure for new centers in nanoelectronics and nanobiotechnology.
- Tel Aviv University
Home to the Tel Aviv University Research Institute for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology an interdisciplinary center serving faculties of engineering, exact sciences, life sciences and medicine. The Institute supports fundamental and applications-level research, nanofabrication, modeling and characterization.
- Weizmann Institute of Science
Home to three distinct fundamental research efforts: the Braun Center for Submicron Research a highly specialized facility enabling the design, material growth, fabrication, and characterization of mesoscopic electronic semiconductor systems; the Kimmel Center for Nanoscale Science, which intends to help establish critical research links between molecular biology and nanoscale science; and the Goldschleger Center for Nanophysics, supporting theoretical and experimental research in nanophysics.
