Nanoteket is a teaching laboratory under the Department of Physics at DTU

Nanoteket is a modern teaching laboratory. In Nanoteket both DTU's own students and high school students perform academically relevant experimental exercises.

Shortcuts

Research into the technology of the future requires engineers with a command of basic physics right down to the atomic level. On the Physics and Nanotechnology programme you learn how to design and manufacture materials using the smallest components available—atoms and molecules. You can work on the development of optical communications, biosensors, and the energy supply of the future.

Education

Read more about the Physics and the Nanotechnology programme, about Nanoteket-our state-of-the-art education laboratory and about the offers we have for high school classes.
