Scanning probe video with us
World Quantum day
This year, to celebrate the World Quantum Day, NCCR SPIN asked scientists of the department of physics what they thought of first when they hear the world “Quantum”. Discover their answers in the video!
1st Nanocar Race
In 2017 we win the 1st Nanocar race.
The Nanocar Race, held in CEMES (Toulouse France) is the first-ever race where molecular machines compete on a nano-sized track. The vehicles are a single molecules and must be propelled by a small electric shock from a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) on a Au(111) surface.
