Molecular-level advanced space technologies and nano-material research
Our nanotechnology research focuses on developing molecular-level advanced materials and systems for use in space applications. Thus, it aims to increase the overall performance of spacecraft while significantly reducing their weight.
We foresee that nano-materials will take more place in a wide range of applications from space suits to satellite components, from fuel systems to precision sensor technologies in the future.
Nano-scale technologies to be developed for space applications
Ideal materials for spacecraft with high strength and low weight properties.
Developing analog space clothing that will not hold dust, oil, or water.
Smart nano-materials that can automatically repair structural small damages.
High-sensitivity environmental sensing systems in microscopic sizes.
New nano-material development
Nano-scale production processes
Molecular level verification
Nanotechnology is a field of science concerned with the manipulation and control of matter at the atomic and molecular level. This field develops innovative solutions using the unique properties of materials at the 1-100 nanometer scale. Nanotechnology, which has wide application areas from medicine to electronics, from energy production to space technologies, forms the basis of future technologies. It has the potential to revolutionize especially in materials science, biomedical engineering and environmental technologies.
