The Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) is increasingly consolidating its expertise in the fields of nanoimaging and nanofabrication – two key dis- ciplines in quantum, materials and environmental science, as well as the life sciences. This strategic focus centers around the Nano Technology Center, which is led by Professor Ilaria Zardo and was established in 2022 as a central platform for services and research. With the Nano Imaging Lab (NI Lab), led by Dr. Marcus Wyss, and the Nano Fabrication Lab (NF Lab), led by Dr. Gerard Gadea, the Nano Technology Center provides both internal partners from the SNI net- work and external clients with access to highly specialized infrastruc- ture and expert support. To meet growing demands, the teams rely on continuous adaptation and modernization. Infrastructure is steadily expanded, new methods are integrated, and organizational processes are optimized. Close col- laboration with the scientific community remains a key priority – whether through services, teaching, outreach activities or close sup- port for research projects. The Nano Imaging Lab handled a total of 200 assignments from 140 clients in 2025. Approximately 85% came from the SNI network, nearly 10% involved collaborations with industry (Bruker Nano Surface, Artidis AG, DeltaMem AG, SenTec AG, Solvias AG), and around 5% originated from research institutions outside the SNI network. In 2025, 76 different users availed themselves of the Nano Fabrication Lab’s infrastructure. These users came from 13 different research groups – 10 from the Department of Physics, two from the Depart- ment of Chemistry and one from the Biozentrum. In addition, there were also researchers from two startups working at the NF Lab.
