naME Lab is the interdisciplinary laboratory for nanoMaterials and Energy of the University of Trieste.
The scope of naME Lab ranges from the investigation of nanomaterials for energy applications to the modeling and techno-economic analysis of energy systems.
The laboratory has been established in 2010 as Materials & Energy Lab and later merged with the Nanotechnology Lab. It is now part of the Department of Engineering and Architecture, University of Trieste.
