Nanoscience and nanotechnology under realistic conditions seeing atoms and molecules at work


The NIMIC consortium (Nano-IMaging under Industrial Conditions) is aimed at making a wide variety of physical, chemical and biological processes visible that take place on the scale of atoms and molecules. The powerful, new microscopes that NIMIC develops are being applied to catalysis, breast cancer research and nanotechnology.


NIMIC supports the related and extended NIMIC work within the NeCEN context

The Nimic fall meeting will be held on October 11 and 12, 2012
