Research: Focus on nanoimaging and nanofabrication Members of the SNI network conduct research across a wide range of fields, as can be seen from their publications in renowned scientif- ic journals. Examples include topics explored by teams at various re- search institutions from the life sciences as well as from materials, quantum and environmental science. This work often revolves around detailed imaging and analysis of nanoscale structures. The small size of the objects being studied calls for the use and development of highly specialized methods and equipment, which in turn rely on spe- cial manufacturing processes on an extremely small scale. This diversity and the focus on nanoimaging and nanofabrication are reflected by a selection of the 94 publications by researchers from the SNI network in 2025. Publications primarily focused on results of research into basic scientific questions by the various teams. This year, however, some applied Nano-Argovia projects have also pre- sented results in scientific publications. With their research activities in the areas of basic and applied sci- ence, SNI members make a key contribution to our understanding of processes and laws operating on the nanoscale and therefore pave the way for applications for the benefit of society. 24 SNI Annual Report 2025
