Vår forskning fokuserar på kondenserad materia och materialvetenskap, kvantfysik, och nano-optik – med ämnen som berör allt från grundläggande forskning till viktiga tillämpningar – och på avancerade energivetenskaper. För framtiden läggs speciellt fokus på kvantteknik och quantum engineering, samt databas-driven maskininlärning inom materialvetenskap.
Institutionen är värd för två av Finlands Akademis spetsforskningsenheter, Molecular Engineering of Biosynthetic Hybrid Materials research (HYBER, 2014–2019) och Quantum Technology Finland (2018–2025). Mer kvantbaserade teknologier faciliteras av Centre for Quantum Engineering, som också finns vid institutionen.
Vid institutionen finns även två nationellt viktiga forskningsinfrastrukturer; Nanomikroskopicentret och Lågtemperaturlaboratoriet, båda en del av OtaNano, en nationell resurs för studeranden, forskare och högteknologiska företag. Framförallt utbildar institutionen framtida generationer av forsknings- och utvecklingsexperter, dataspecialister, teknikexperter, uppfinnare och forskare för industrin och samhället.
