Welcome to the Institute of Nanotechnology

Amadeus Bramsiepe, KIT

The prize is considered the most distinguished award for young investigators in Germany. In his work, Pascal Friederich focuses on the use of artificial intelligence in material simulation, virtual material design, and autonomous experimental platforms for automatic material recognition.

Dennis Arslan, Universität Jena

Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Friedrich Schiller University of Jena have developed a diffuser, a disk that scatters light, based on silicon nanoparticles. It can be used to control the direction, color, and polarization of light.

TU Delft, Annelies van't Hul

For his long and successful research on Solid State Ionics Prof. Dr. Jürgen Janek was awarded an honory doctorate by the Technical University of Delft, Netherlands (Laudatio starts at 7:20).

Professor Rasmus Schröder, University of Heidelberg, Vincent Hahn, KIT

3D laser printers for 3-dimensional microstructures and nanostructures so far require big and expensive laser systems. Researchers of KIT and the Heidelberg University developed a process with inexpensive and small laser diodes, allowing for much smaller printers.

Uwe Dettmar

In 2021 the Aventis Foundation granted this highly-endowed Postdoctoral Award to researchers working at research-intensive German universities.  Dr. Frank Biedermann from INT was one of only three awardees.

C. Grupe, KIT

We demonstrate efficient polarization of ground state nuclear spins of a binuclear Europium complex via light.  This shows the feasibilty of light addressable nuclear spin qubits in such rare-earth complexes.

KIT

We use scanning tunneling spectroscopy with a spin-polarized tip to indirectly read out the spin of a rare-earth atom of a single molecule magnet exploiting the exchange splitting of the Kondo resonance.

KIT

A novel strategy based on dip-pen nanolithography generated microarrays of supported lipid membranes allows for highly selective and efficient capture of extracellular vesicles.

Sandeep Kumar, KIT

By growing a metal-organic framework directly onto the graphene of a field-effect transistor device selective sensing of molecules has been demonstrated by a collaboration of groups from IFG and INT.

KIT

We present High-Entropy Metal-Organic Frameworks that show much improved stability and near perfect Coulombic efficiency as a storage material based on sodium.

Roman Kulagin, KIT

The structural patterns of Earth's lithosphere is particularly rich and can inspire innovative designs of structural and architectured materials.

Markus Breig (KIT)

The CORAERO project studies the spreading of Corona viruses via aerosols. The INT group of Prof. Hahn is among the four participating KIT groups with their contribution to further Aerobuster development.

"KNMFi makes the invisible visible" is the motto of a video which features several KNMF technologies operated by our INT colleagues in Bldg. 640.

Cluster 3DMM2O / Agentur Triebfeder

Carl Zeiss Foundation Scholarship holder Britta Weidinger talks about her research carried out at INT within the framework of the Excellence Cluster 3DMM2O.

KIT/Janek/Wegener

INT research unit heads Prof. Dr. Jürgen Janek and Prof. Dr. Martin Wegener are among the eight KIT scientists on the 2020 list of Highly Cited Researchers by Clarivate / Web of Science.

KIT/Aghassi

A hybrid physical unclonable function based on metal oxide thin film devices, exploiting the inherent randomness of printed materials, was demonstrated by researchers of KIT.

KIT/Martin Breig

Researchers of KIT developed a simple device to effectively kill the Corona virus in aerosols of ambient air in closed rooms.

KIT/INT

You can now take virtual lab tours through some of our synthesis, structuring and spectroscopy facilities.

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

KIT

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.
