Scientific Publications

The research centers are setup and structured in a way that enables them to conduct both independent and joint research with other centers within the City and across the country. The centers are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and they have research links with other national and international research institutes and universities.

To date, the research conducted at the City has resulted in scientific papers published in high-impact journals, and the following references are examples of those published in the areas of fundamental physics of the universe, nanooptics, nanoelectronics, nanotechnology, water treatment, and stem-cell research:
