RESEARCH AT ELMIN IS DRIVEN BY THE ONE-NANO DOWN TO ONE-ATOM VISION
ELMiN Research group, lead by Klaus Leifer, is dedicated to the quantitative electron microscopy analysis of materials that take their functionality from single nano-objects down to single atoms as well as to the fabrication of nanomaterials and nano-devices for environmental and health applications.
