Probing a material's composition and structure is crucial for our understanding of its properties and interactions. From electron microscopy and atom probe tomography to spectroscopy techniques and NMR cryoporometry, we highlight the cutting edge technologies to visualize soft and hard materials.
Our annual materials science initiative seminar "Materials for Tomorrow" took place on Dec 4 in lecture hall RunAn, Chalmers Conference Centre. This one-day conference was immediately followed by the symposium "Light at the Nanoscale: from Molecules to Quantum Computers", which was co-organized by the Nano Excellence Initiative and Materials Science Area of Advance at Chalmers, and Molecular Frontiers.
In conjunction with the conferences, we announce the winners of the 2019 Photo Contest.
