Am 21. Mai 2016 fand in Gelterkinden die wissenschaftliche Publikumsausstellung Nano- und Quantenwelten in Gelterkinden statt. Mit vereinten Kräften haben es das Departement Physik, das Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) und die Gemeinde Gelterkinden geschaff t, in kürzester Zeit diesen Aktionstag
The detection of biomarkers at very low concentration and low cost is increasinglyimportant for clinical diagnosis. Moreover, monitoring affinities for receptor-antagonist interactions by time-resolved measurements is crucial for drug discovery and development. Biosensors based on ion-sensitive field-eff ect transistors (BioFETs) are
On May 4th, during the plenary session of the EMRS 2016 Spring Meeting (Lille, France), Kishan Thodkar was awarded with the first prize in the E-MRS Reach.Out! competition. Reach.Out! is a science communication competition that aims to engage the members
Anton talked about “Self-assembled nanoparticle arrays with graphene contacts” (talk J.VI.10) at Symposium J; Kishan reported about “Characterization of HMDS-treated CVD Graphene” (Y.15.32) during the poster session of Symposium Y; and Michel reported about “Si nanoribbon transistors for chemical and
Ionic gradients play a crucial role in the physiology of the human body, ranging from metabolism in cells to muscle contractions or brain activities. To monitor these ions, inexpensive, label-free chemical sensing devices are needed. Field-effect transistors (FETs) based on
We used a confocal laser microscope to investigate the one-photon photoluminescence (PL) of gold antennas. The PL spectra can precisely be fitted to a plasmon enhanced photoluminescence model. For increasing antenna length, the energy peak position decreases continuously until it

We are happy to welcome Dr. Masoud Baghernejad who joined the group on Feb. 1st. Masoud will work on Si nanoribbon transistors for sensing in the framework of an EU project on Reservoir Computing with Real-time Data for future IT
On December 16th, the kleine Bühne at the Basel Theater was hosting the 2015 Basel Science Slam. Kishan made a great show there on graphene and won the slam. Here is a teaser…. if you want to know more, contact
On Tuesday, October 27th, Ralph has successfully defended his PhD Thesis entitled “Understanding Silicon Nanowire Field-E ffect Transistors for Biochemical Sensing” with a grade „summa cum laude“
