The Manchester Centre for Mesoscience and Nanotechnology is a centre for interdisciplinary research in mesoscience and nanotechnology headed by Andre Geim at the University of Manchester.
The purpose of the centre is to allow researchers to construct devices from a few micrometres down to 10 nanometres in size.
[1] The centre is based in the Department of Computer Science, and houses a suite of Class 100 to Class 1000 cleanrooms.
These facilities played an important role in the discovery of Graphene by scientists in Manchester[2][3][4][5][6][7] and subsequent Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.
The facility also hosts The North West Nanoscience Doctoral Training Centre (NOWNano DTC)[8] funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council in collaboration with Lancaster University.
