Welcome to the Institute of Nanotechnology

Explore, Predict, Discover and Validate: the Future of Materials Science: The symposium on the Future of Materials Science (FMS) is changed into a series of online presentations starting June 24th, 2020.

Researchers of KIT have developed a system to print highly precise, centimeter-sized objects with submicrometer details at a so far unmatched speed using small materials building blocks.

Oxide semiconductors have the potential to increase the performance of inkjet printed microelectronic devices such as field-effect transistors (FETs), due to their high electron mobilities.

Interference of higher-order multipole transitions has been theoretically studied for a molecule in close proximity to a resonant plasmonic nanoantenna.

Entropy-stabilized multianionic and multicationic oxyhalides have been used as cathodes for Li-ion batteries.

Our Executive Director received an award from the US National Academy of Inventors (NAI).

110 participants from 15 countries enjoyed an inspiring meeting in Bad Herrenalb / Black Forest.

It has been proposed that shot noise in a quantum Hall edge exhibits different types of behavior with varying sample size, depending on the chirality of edge modes.

Matter-wave interference of molecules consisting of up to 2000 atoms has been demonstrated by means of Talbot-Lau interferometry.

New class of stable organic electrodes based on metal porphyrines has been reported.

In situ detection and quantification of Alzheimer's drug memantine in blood serum have been reported.

Reversible transitions between six rotational states of tetraphenylmethane molecules have been induced with an STM tip.

Predictive simulation methods to complement experimental research in the identification of novel materials for organic electronics have been discussed.

Prof. Yuval Gefen from the Weizmann Institute, nominated by the INT, received a highly prestigious Helmholtz International Fellow Award.

Fluxonium qubit design based on a granular aluminium superinductor strip, with state-of-the-art coherence times, has attracted international interest.

Controlled equilibration in a line junction of two counterpropagating edge modes with different filling factors has been analyzed.

The transfer project for using Air REtaining Surfaces to lower the friction of ship hulls with the surrounding water, led by the group of Prof. Thomas Schimmel, garnered first place in the VIP+ program of the BMBF. 

The Deutsche Forschungs- gemeinschaft recognized Prof. Wernsdorfer's pioneering work on nanomagnetism and single-molecule magnets. The latter could represent the Qbits of Quantum Information devices.

It has been demonstrated that 3D-printed objects can be made switchable by varying temperature globally or by locally illuminating with focused light.
