Innovation & Patents

Research at the Institute of Nanotechnology (INT) lays the groundwork for futher development and technological applications. Some of the collaborative projects our researchers are involved in include:

• creating start-ups such as Nanoscribe and Nanomatch
• developing next-generation batteries together with BASF in the Joint Laboratory BELLA
• working on cost-effective solutions for stationary and mobile storage systems in Competence E projects
• collaborating with industrial partners through our Nanomat network

The Nanoscribe Photonic Professional is an easy-to-operate table-top laser lithography system
