World-scale challenges, nano-scale solutions

AMD accelerates the disruptive potential of nanomaterials to deliver safe, secure and sustainable impacts in the real world.

We make use of the nanoscale to deliver unique material properties and characteristics that would otherwise be impossible to realise, changing their relationship with the world in which they operate.

By controlling the materials’ thermal, electrical, mechanical and optical properties, we create advanced sensors and electronics which are stronger, lighter, safer and more secure and sustainable. We are already addressing key needs in transport and automotive, consumer and retail, medical and life sciences, and defence and security. However, there is a great deal of scope to apply further applications in other areas.

Together with our key partners, the University of Sussex and the University of Surrey, we are working to commercialise the technologies initially developed in their labs. We bring focus to the research, making sure it is driven to address real-world issues, making use of appropriate R&D funding streams and engaging market-facing partners to capitalise on class-leading intellectual property.

We are developing game-changing technologies, taking them from ‘lab proven’ to realising their value in the real world.
