Company/Organization: Brockhouse Institute, McMaster University
The Brockhouse is an interdisciplinary institute with a wide range of activities associated with advanced materials. While the Institute is sited at McMaster University about 500 faculty, PDF`s and graduate students from 7 universities use its facilities annually. About 100 companies conduct part of their research activities within the institute. Institute researchers are active in many aspects of nanotechnology included nanostructured materials, nanoscale characterization of materials and devices, environmental and health issues associated with nanoparticulates and biomedical devices incorporating nanotechnology. The Institute has been selected to be home to Canada's National Facility for Advanced Electron Imaging. This new facility will house a next-generation super-STEM. This new advance will enable compositional and chemical bonding information to be extracted on a sub-nanometer scale. The Institute works closely with the Center for Electrophotonic Materials and Devices (CEMD)in the area of semiconductor device technology and with the McMaster Manufacturing Research Institute (MMRI)in Advanced Manufacturing Technologies.
