 The goal of the center is to develop and apply novel nanoprobes that dramatically improve our capability to observe, manipulate, and control nanoscale objects and phenomena.Developed technology will be transferred to industry for commercial implementation.Nanoprobe development and applications are under way in five theme groups, focusing on Individual Nanomagnet Characterization, Nanoscale Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Nanoscale Electrical Imaging, Plasmonic Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and BioProbes.
