Kiel Nanolaboratory

nanolab3


Inaugurated on August 4th 2008 the new "Kieler Nanolabor" now is a part of the Faculty of Engineering. Beginning in August 2007 the installation of the cleanroom area of 350 m² and technical area of ca. 600m² plus the fitting of the scientific equipment had taken about twelve months. The gray area has the cleanroom category 1000 or ISO category 6, means, there are less than 35000 0.5µm-particle/ m³, 8000 1µm-particle/m³ and 300 5µm-particle/m³. The white area has the cleanroom category ISO 5, which means, there are less than 3500 0.5µm-particle/ m³, 800 1µm-particle/m³ and 30 5µm-particle/m³; compare the diameter of a single hair with about 100µm.

From September 2013 and for two years, the Kiel Nanolab has been extended to the competence center nanosystem technology. This competence center is funded by the Ministry of Economy of the Schleswig-Holstein State and has been established to promote the collaboration between academy and industry. If you want to learn more about the competence center, please follow the link (www.kompetenzzentrum-nanosystemtechnik.uni-kiel.de).


Numerous pioneering projects funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the German Research Foundation (DFG) would be inconceivable without the Kiel Nanolaboratory. This includes the Collaborative Research Center 1261 - Magnetoelectric Sensors: From Composite Materials to Biomagnetic Diagnostics (https://www.biomagnetic-sensing.de).Here alone, over 100 scientists, doctoral candidates and students are working on new magnetoelectric sensors that can measure magnetic fields with high sensitivity at biomagnetic frequencies. The new sensor concepts are evaluated and applied in medically relevant questions.


The Collaborative Research Center 1461 "Neurotronics: Bio-inspired Information Pathways" (https://www.crc1461-neurotronics.de) explores hardware technologies as cornerstones for future bio-inspired computer architectures that will pave the way for unconventional information processing. Information processing in nervous systems is a result of evolution. Biological systems are characterized by extremely low energy consumption and at the same time excellent pattern recognition (e.g. visual or auditory). The Kiel Nanolaboratory is a central facility of the CRC1461 for the fabrication and research of innovative electronic and ionic components in this context.
