NMMC Workshop on Nanoanalyses
09.05.08- This workshop aims to demonstrate the wide-range of possibilities in using nanoscale analyses within a variety of fields.
2 October 2008 - 10:00 to 18:00 (Initially scheduled for 16 June - postponed)
Empa Akademie, Überlandstrasse 129, CH-8600 Dübendorf
NMMC is an analytical platform that brings together state-of-the-art analytical resources from all the participating institutions. The platform focuses on projects designed to develop new tools for the analysis of physical, chemical or biological properties on the scale below 100 nm and on the development of existing methods for new application fields. The purchase of analytical equipment is encouraged, provided that the equipment will be made available to potential users of other laboratories within the ETH domain institutions and CSEM. In addition, several projects are supported by CCMX to carry out a variety of well-defined experiments with existing equipment (RAPs-Rapid analytical Projects). Thanks to this extensive funding strategy, the NMMC platform caters for a wide range of demands concerning materials analysis at the nano- and microscale.
The aim of this meeting is to present some of the applications of these techniques to interested parties from both industry and academia. The presentations have been chosen to demonstrate the wide-ranging possibilities of utilising nanoscale analyses in a variety of fields.
