The Nanoindenation platform is a versatile system available in two configuations that allows you to build a device tailored ot your specific requirements. You can incorporate various testing modules such as nano and microindentation, nano and microscratch or micro/nanoscratch module, with your choice of imaging systems choosing form video microscope, AFM or profilometer. The Nanoindentation [...]
One of the predominant features of nano-materials is an extremely high surface area. Emerging Science joins Chris Landry, professor of chemistry at the University of Vermont, as he describes how nanotechnology applications are improving the efficacy of cancer drugs by delivering more medicine to patients.

English Without any doubt this is the smallest Canadians (Montreal) logo ever made. The whole was made using the system of Fibics NPVE and double column electron microscope , Nvision, Zeiss. The logo is approximately 10μm in width which is roughly one-tenth of the size of a hair. French C’est sans doute le plus petit [...]
