Description
Understanding structure and behaviour at the nanoscale provides valuable insight and the opportunity for control in application areas like biomedicine, biophysics and biomaterials. Measuring individual nanoscale properties with different instruments is challenging, slow and expensive. Understanding their interactions is even more difficult. Correlative nanoscopy is an emerging field that aims to measure multiple properties – for example, optical, mechanical, electrical and thermal – in a single sample with the same instrument and with nanoscale resolution. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the ENSIGN project will develop and combine high-speed force, electrical, and microwave nanoscopy with optical and electron nanoscopy. The resulting correlative nanoscopy will be quantitative, fast and non-invasive, while offering unprecedented resolution.
