This month’s image shows a comet-like particle gracefully navigating the (nano)cosmos. The particle is the result of an annealing experiment with a gold/nickel thin film on a zinc oxide substrate. An unexpected reaction of nickel with zinc oxide produced a tail trailing a gold particle. The image was acquired using a scanning electron microscope with […]

Hopefully your spring cleaning is already done! Here you can see the world’s smallest broom in action. This SEM image shows a small metal tip used for cleaning surfaces on the nanoscale – in this case graphene, the thinnest material in existence (a single atomic layer of carbon). Graphene is cleaned by pressing the very […]

IMN/CENEM retreat 2023
After the complete opening since the COVID, the annual IMN/CENEM retreat took place again in Kleedorf during 9-12. May. A total number of 32 members attended the workshop. This year, we arranged a poster session besides the oral presentations, allowing master and bachelor students to present and discuss their work and progress in a more […]

The transition from the colder winter and spring days to the upcoming summer with higher temperatures is in full swing. While people and nature are happily anticipating the warmer days, higher temperatures can also have a detrimental impact on the environment. Especially in the smallest length scales, increased temperatures can have a dramatic effect on […]

Publication on “stitching approach” for lab-based nano-CT
Silvan Englisch and his colleagues from the nanotomography work group recently published a strategy to tackle and overcome the inherent compromise between accessible volume and spatial resolution in nanotomography. The article “Expanding accessible 3D sample size in lab-based X-ray nanotomography without compromising resolution” was published in Precision Engineering as part of the special issue Developments […]Silvan Englisch and his colleagues from the nanotomography work group recently published a strategy to tackle and overcome the inherent compromise between accessible volume and spatial resolution in nanotomography.

It’s springtime! It’s pollen season! The little guy in the image is a daisy pollen, which grows into a beautiful small flower. The image was acquired in a dual-beam scanning electron microscope / focused ion beam (SEM/FIB) instrument. The eyes and mouth were ion milled and the image was acquired using secondary electrons and was […]
