Microsystems and nanotechnology

Our research on advanced materials and nanotechnology contributes to solutions to major societal challenges and provides new business opportunities.

Nanomedicine is the use of nanotechnology to prevent, diagnose and treat illness. SINTEF collaborates with industry and research organisations to develop nanomedicines for hard-to-treat diseases ranging from cancer to severe infections.

Microchips play a critical role in our technological development. They act as the "brain" in almost all modern technology and are of far greater significance to society than many might realize.

Sensors and microelectronics are a central part of the technologies enabling major societal transformations.
