The results of the study have been published in the February 2019 issue of Science Advances. 4 January 2019 Dr Yasin Ekinci elected as Fellow of SPIE Dr. Yasin Ekinci, Head of the Advanced Lithography and Metrology Group and ad interim Head of the Laboratory for Micro and Nanotechnology, has been elected to the grade of Fellow of The International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE). 17 December 2018 Data storage using individual molecules The research group of Prof. T.A. Jung at the University of Basel has reported on a new method that allows the physical state of just a few atoms or molecules within a network to be controlled. 6 December 2018 2018 Innovation Award on Synchrotron Radiation The Innovation Award on Synchrotron Radiation 2018 went to Dr. Christian David, also from the Paul Scherrer Institute, and to Prof. Alexei Erko, who recently moved from the HZB to the Institute for Applied Photonics (IAP) in Berlin-Adlershof. 2 October 2018 Demonstration of femtosecond X-ray pump X-ray probe diffraction on protein crystals Our experiments, published in the September issue of Structural Dynamics, demonstrate the feasibility of time-resolved pump-multiprobe X-ray diffraction experiments on protein crystals using a split-and-delay setup which was temporarily installed at the LCLS X-ray Free Electron Laser. 14 September 2018 SNI Honorary Membership for Jens Gobrecht At this year's annual meeting of the Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) Jens Gobrecht, the former Head of LMN, received the SNI Honorary Membership. 7 September 2018 Diamond: a gem for micro-optics Our image of a diamond structure was published on the cover page of the September 2018 issue of the journal "Materials Today". The corresponding paper reports on the nano-frabrication of micro-optical elements in diamond. 28 May 2018 Imaging the inside of injection needles with neutrons Media Releases Human Health Research Using Neutrons Researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, the University of Basel and Roche have used neutron imaging to investigate why cool storage is crucial for syringes pre-filled with a liquid medication. 7 May 2018 Fresnel Zone Plates with Zone Widths below 10 nm The spot size of a Fresnel Zone Plate lens is mainly determined by the zone widths of its outermost zone. It is therefore essential to fabricate zone plates with structures as small as possible for high-resolution X-ray microscopy. Researchers at the Laboratory for Micro- and Nanotechnology at the PSI have now developed Fresnel zone plates with zone widths well below 10 nm, down to 6.4 nm. These lenses are capable of pushing resolution in X-ray microscopy to the single-digit regime. 1 2 3 4 Next page ›› Last page Last » >>> Archive Items 2012-15 Sidebar Contact Laboratory for Micro- and Nanotechnology Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI Switzerland Head a.i.
