FROM OUR JOINT RESEARCH

Pathway toward sub-10 nm surface nanostructures utilizing block copolymer crystallization control

Atomic force microscopy elucidates how crystallization of a block co-oligomer assists in overcoming the high-X barrier for microphase separation during directed self-assembly.

Effective method for radical spin protection in two-dimensional organic nanolattice

The research group led by prof. Denis Arčon from IJS, stabilized the azafullerene radicals by vacuum depositing on [10]CPP nanohoop lattice hosted on Au(111) surface

Nonlinear Optical (NLO) microscopy demonstrates fluorescence emission from imaging probe in live cells

Unveiling nanoscale chemical inhomogeneity in surface oxide film on tooling alloy by synchrotron X-ray analyses

Gd-DLC films with ionic liquids enhance sustainable lubrication
