EMINA Lab

EMINA (Electron Microscopies and Nanoscopies) is a research group coordinated by Prof. Marco Rossi. It is a nanoscience and nanotechnology oriented group that brings together senior researchers, postdoctoral associates, PhD students and undergraduate students. Research activities of the laboratory are mainly focused to advance materials research through the developing of new nanocharacterization tools for different types of samples. EMINA (Electron MIcroscopies and NAnoscopies) group is committed with the development of nanometer scale measurements techniques and methodologies, based on the combined and synergistic use of electron microscopies and diffractions and atomic force microscopies (AFM). In particular, the team has a long and well recognized reputation in the field of Carbon-based nanomaterials (from nanographites to ultrananodiamond) with more 120 publications on the more important international scientific journals. In the last recent years, a relevant part of research activity is also devoted to define new methodologies and strategies for soft matter imaging (from polymers to biological objects) through a combined and synergistic use of electron microscopies, diffraction techniques and scanning probe microscopies with related spectroscopies.
