For successful research in the size range of 1 to 100 nanometers, the natural sciences and engineering must work closely together. For national professional exchange around the topic nanotechnology therefore recently met 70 participants for the first joint symposium of the Laboratory of Nano and Quantum Engineering (LNQE) of Leibniz Universität Hannover and the Center for Nano Integration Duisburg-Essen (CENIDE). A sequel is planned.
In numerous talks on campus Duisburg the scientists of both nanotechnology centers gave an insight into their current research interests. That nanotechnology is very interdisciplinary, it quickly became clear: the margin of the presentations ranged from heterogeneous catalysts, quantum transport in graphene, magnetism of nanoscale systems to nanotechnology in mechanical engeneering, optical properties of nanomaterials, nanosensors, plasmonic nanoparticles for catalysis, biomedicine and wet chemical synthesis of nanomaterials.
The program was completed by a lab tour of the research building NanoEnergieTechnikZentrum (NETZ), where in particular the extensive analytical methods of the DFG devices center Interdisciplinary Center for Analytics on the Nanoscale (ICAN) were shown.
