Dr. Peter Schweizer (now PostDoc at EMPA, Thun, Switzerland) have received a prestigious award of "DGE-Förderpreis" for his outstanding PhD thesis "Manipulation of Individual Defects in 2D and Layers Materials". The award ceremony took place during the (online) MC 2021 conference. Congratulations pe...
Ever since pandemic from 2020, it has been particularly difficult for early career researchers, particularly PhD students to effectively attend conferences and involving in academic exchanges, which has gradually developed into a new culture of online events. Despite these difficulties, IMN members ...

CENEM and GRK members of IMN contributed by investigating the morphology and the agglomeration of SPIONs and nano plastic particles by employing scale-briding electron and X-ray microscopy and tomography techniques. The corresponding paper is now published in Materials Today, further details and bac...
A new Tenure Track Professorhip Computational Materials Microscopy (W2 / Associate Professor) is available at the Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy that is embedded at the Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research. The research focus of this professorship should be on computationa...
Structure-property relationships are key for an in-depth understanding and development of modern materials utilized to solve grand challenges in today's society like sustainable energy conversion and catalysis. The Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM) and the Institute of Micro- a...
