Overview

The Microsystems and Nanoengineering programme offered by University of Salford was initially intended for the microelectronics sector, it is now being utilised for the creation of integrated photonic chips (such as optical communication transceivers), biomedical implants, environmental sensors (e.g., optical gas sensors), sensors for extreme environments (e.g., radiation detectors), navigational sensors (e.g., LIDAR), and energy harvesting devices. At the same time, advances in nanoengineering are providing new opportunities in this field, leading to new devices for quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
