AFM: our group has extended tradition developing new instrumentation and software related with Scanning probe microscopy and in particular with atomic force microscope. We have contributed to the well known WSxM software introducing new scanning modes such as jumping mode, 3D modes etc. Read more…
Physical virology: Viruses are striking examples of macromolecular assembly of proteins, nucleid acids and, sometimes, lipid envelopes that form symmetric objects with sizes ranging from 10`s to 100`s of nanometers. In our group we study the mechanical properties of these fascinating nanoparticles. Read more…
Low dimensional materials: we are interested in electronic mechanical and structural properties of low dimensional materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene and organic wires. Read more…
