On the hunt for new materials One key topic within the SNI network is the imaging and analysis of new materials with special electric and magnetic properties. For example, as an associate doctoral student at the SNI PhD School, Ángel Labordet (Empa and SNI, University of Basel) analyzes defects and substrate effects of graphene nanoribbons. This photo, which won one of the Nano Image Awards 2025, shows how a single tungsten diselenide triangle on graphene/silicon carbide (SiC) breaks down into triangles within triangles, forming nested facets.
