Nanotechnology is expected to be able to provide technical solutions for future missions expected for the Swedish Armed Forces.

Swedish Defence Forces are adopting the doctrine of network centric warfare, which will be called upon to operate internationally, and in new situations.

After reviewing the topic it was concluded that nanotechnology is sufficiently mature to be capable of practical demonstrations in defence applications, and that the project proposals received were suitable for funding.

In addition to funding promising research projects, secondary goals are to:

· promote international co-operation and technological renewal with the defence sector.
· increase the interaction between universities, research organisations, industry and the armed forces
· introduce new technologies to the armed forces

The coolchip, which consists of different semiconductor materials built using nanotechnology, has many advantages compared to common cooling technology: It is small, environmentally friendly, robust and can momentarily switch from cooling to heating.

Nanofreeze Technologies Lund AB was founded in September 2005, as a spin off from research performed at Lund University in the field of thermoelectrics. Nanofreezes current base of operation is at Ideon Innovation, where Nanofreeze recently moved in. Key partners are Lund University in Sweden , as well as several foreign research groups.

QuNano is a technology spin-out from the Nanometer Structure Consortium (“nmC”) at Lund University and is focused on commercialisation in the fields of nanoelectronics and photonics of the nanowire technology research of Dr. Lars Samuelson, Professor of Solid State Physics, and his world-class team at Lund University in Sweden.

The Company holds key intellectual property rights in the areas of nanometer material growth, fabrication and devices. The Company believes that semiconductor epitaxial layer growth controlled down to the atomic level and nanometer size patterning techniques combined with novel device designs will be key enablers for future nano-devices governed by quantum-mechanical principles. These devices will exhibit far superior properties when compared to today's micro-devices governed by laws of classical physics.

A primary objective is to provide the base for all aspects of nanotechnological co-operation in the region, where academia and industry participate, and also to communicate Øresund’s capacity in these terms internationally.

The work is politically and financially supported by a number of public organisations. Half of the budget is provided by the European Regional Development Fund, and major part of the rest consists of funding from regional authorities on the Swedish and Danish sides of Øresund, that is, Region Skane and Greater Copenhagen Authority (HUR). Internationally acknowledged academics from universities in the region with longstanding experience in nanoscience and nanotechnology also participate in the work.

In addition to research we naturally also do teaching.

The activities of the Atomic Physics group span over quite a large range; from fundamental theoretical calculations on atoms using for example QED, and basic experimental research on fullerenes and negative ions to more applied research on nanotubes, cluster implantation and bioimaging using optical tweezers.

In 2000 we founded Silex Microsystems AB, backed by top MEMS scientists and a roster of well-known reference customers. And the goal of becoming an industry leader in MEMS technology worldwide.

Now we have 40 employees, 31 directly involved in development and manufacturing and 9 hold doctorates in MEMS technology. More importantly, our people are specialists in our customers’ industries.

Since start we have gained a solid base of international customers, intellectual property and knowledge in several key diversified areas of MEMS. These include the medical, biotechnical, optical, wireless and printer industries.

We also have our own manufacturing ISO 9001 certified facility producing state-of-the-art 6” wafer micro and nano components in Järfälla, Sweden.

This makes us a leader in our industry.

But, most important of all, our customers know that doing business with us is easy. Our specialists know each of our customer’s businesses and listen to their needs. And they know that with our mix of design, development, process and production skills and knowledge, we will produce high quality results, delivered to specification and on time. That is why they keep coming back to us with their challenges.

Simple enough, but extremely important.

We offer scientists and corporations extended possibilities to be in the absolute forefront of research, technical development and production within areas such as nanotechnology, materials science, and microelectronics. In these areas, researchers already are at, or are rapidly approaching atomic levels. Indeed, atomic level microscopy and nanomanipulating instruments provide some of the basic tools needed to open new research fields, make technology shifts more easily, and to transform the results into industrial applications, bringing new advanced products to market in less time.

The market for Nanofactory Instruments' products is found among the users of the more than 5.000 electron microscopes that are in use today. The immediate users are found both in university research facilities and industrial research centers. A large, emerging potential is found in process monitoring and quality control, for example in the semiconductor industry.

Lund University has for more than 15 years been hosting a major interdisciplinary research program in Nanoscience, ranging from materials science and quantum physics to applications in the areas of electronics, photonics and the life sciences. This is a centre for the development of nanotechnology and fields of science & applications based on the uniqueness of properties and opportunities offered at this nanometer length scale.

The greatest strength of the consortium stems from the unique combination of scientific and intellectual competence in areas covering physics, electronics, materials science and life sciences on the nanoscale. The common research goals, close interaction in joint projects and weekly meetings and seminars on key thematic areas provide for the best utilization of the consortium's competence and resources and enables us to take on important new challenges in science and technology. Another important feature is the joint research infrastructure, giving young scientists access to advanced resources, in terms of equipment as well as people, way beyond those normally available to junior or postdoctoral researchers.

Sandvik Materials Technology is a world leading producer of high technology stainless steels, special alloy materials and advanced value-added products, developed in close cooperation with customers.

Sandvik Materials Technology consists of five product areas: Tube, Strip, Wire, Kanthal and Process Systems.

The unique properties of Sandvik Nanoflex open up a spectrum of possible applications. Because of the extreme strength, the material shows excellent results for mechanical applications. The strength also enables very thin thickness of the material and thereby very low weight. This is an advantage for applications such as lightweight chassis and sports and outdoor equipment for extreme conditions. The formability, wear resistance and not to forget the corrosion resistance are important properties since the material is used for high class electrical shavers that can be rinsed in water. Sandvik Nanoflex also matches the very high demands for eye surgery needles regarding strength, toughness and corrosion resistance.
