Nanotechnology, which uses materials developed on a scale of one-billionth
of a metre, holds the promise of stronger materials, faster computers,
better energy efficiency and a cleaner environment,” says
Dr. Gianluigi Botton, materials science and engineering, and holder
of a Canada Research Chair in Electron Microscopy of Nanoscale Materials.

He expects his work to provide insights into the interfacial
reactions, alloying effects and chemical bonding changes in
structures on that infinitesimally small scale.
Dr. Botton pioneered methods for determining detailed electronic
structure and bonding in materials. He now studies the composition,
structure and bonding of nanostructured materials using advanced
microscopy and spectroscopy in hopes of improving the performance
of those materials.
His work will lead to better designed materials, improved
energy storage and catalysis, new techniques for studying
air pollution, and new metallic and semiconductor thin films
in devices.
