FAU KinderUni explores the colourful micro- and nanoworld at IMN
On 5 November 2025, 20 children aged 7 to 11 from the FAU KinderUni holiday programme visited the Chair of Micro- and Nanostructure Research (IMN) to discover how nature creates brilliant colours in flora and fauna. The visit began with a short, child-friendly introduction to structural colour and basic physical colour phenomena — topics that […]

New insights into nanoscale plasticity of metallic nanosponges by correlative and scale-bridging microscopy and modeling
We are proud to announce the publication of our paper “Revealing nanoscale plasticity of metallic nanosponges with correlative and scale-bridging 3D microscopy and modelling” in Communications Materials (Nature Portfolio). This study unveils the atomic-scale mechanisms that govern plastic deformation in metallic nanosponges and represents a major outcome of the successfully finished project GRK 1896 “In […]We are proud to announce the publication of our paper “Revealing nanoscale plasticity of metallic nanosponges with correlative and scale-bridging 3D microscopy and modelling” in Communications Materials (Nature Portfolio).

New Insights into the Mechanical Resilience of Silver Nanowires for Flexible Electronics
Silver nanowire (AgNW) networks are among the most promising candidates to replace brittle indium tin oxide as transparent conductive electrodes in flexible devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and sensors. In a recent study published in ACS Nano, researchers from the Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research (IMN) provide unprecedented insights into how individual […]

Correlative TEM-Raman study exposes unexpected stacking phases and dislocations in bilayer MoS₂
Researchers at the Institute of Micro and Nanostructure Research (IMN) and the Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM), Chair of Experimental Physics, Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP) at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, have unveiled an unexpected coexistence of 2H and 3R stacking orders—and their characteristic dislocations—inside a single exfoliated bilayer MoS₂ flake. The findings, […]Researchers at the Institute of Micro and Nanostructure Research (IMN) and the Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM), Chair of Experimental Physics, Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP) at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, have unveiled an unexpected coexistence of 2H and 3R stacking orders—and their characteristic dislocations—inside a single exfoliated bilayer MoS₂ flake.
