Examples of SNI research

We regularly describe research projects in our newsletter «SNI update» and in the Annual Reports. Here you find a selection of these contributions that provide an insight into research at the SNI.

Nanomedicine – Uniting medicine and technology

Magnetic or superconducting – Argovia Professor Martino Poggio uses special cantilevers to study a broad
range of materials

Support for titular professors at the PSI – Work by two research groups under Thomas Jung leads to
synergies

An undeserved reputation – Plastics offer great potential

The SNI supports PSI titular professors – Thomas Jung investigates silicon carbide

Successful interdisciplinary collaboration – Combined knowledge of cell biology and biofunctional polymers

Detailed information about vortices – Imaging of ultra-thin superconductors delivers key information

Insulator on the inside, conductor on the outside – Topological insulators are a key topic at the SNI

The SNI supports PSI titular professors Thomas Jung studies nanonetworks

Michel Kenzelmann researches materials with unusual magnetic properties

Roderick Lim researches the transport processes and mechanical properties of cells Promising applications form a key
part of his research

Frithjof Nolting is a specialist in analyses using the Swiss Light Source
