Participation in trinational research project: Nano Imaging Lab contributes its expertise
The SNI's Nano Imaging Lab is participating in the recently approved Interreg research project WiVitis to support viticulture in the Upper Rhine region. In collaboration with viticulture experts on both sides of the Rhine, a network of…/ News, Research, Medienmitteilung
New production process for therapeutic nanovesicles
Researchers at the University of Basel have developed an efficient method for the preparation of therapeutic nanovesicles, thereby fulfilling a key prerequisite for industrial production. The method also paves the way for research into…/ News, Research, Medienmitteilung
Under control to the very end – how our cells kill themselves
Every day, millions of cells die in our body. Other than generally assumed, cells do not simply burst at the end of their lives but rather, a specific protein serves as a breaking point for cell membrane rupture. Researchers at the…/ News, Research, Medienmitteilung
Electron beam lithography also possible on uneven surfaces
Researchers from the SNI network have developed a new method for applying electron beam lithography to uneven surfaces. They are working with a floating resist that enables uniform coating. The work was recently published in the scientific…
