We apply modern methods of material analysis to a variety of functional materials and devices to understand and improve their microstructure-property correlation. We work closely with various partners from industry and research as well as other research groups at the NMI.
Further main focuses are the analysis of biological samples and active implants as well as the production and characterization of thin films for sensor and actuator applications.
