Nano Imaging Lab User Event 2026: An exciting array of supported research projects An extremely interesting and entertaining morning offered numerous impressive examples of the central role that high-resolution imaging plays in modern re- search projects. This year’s Nano Imaging Lab User Event provided users and interested parties from var- ious departments and institutions with diverse in- sights into projects to which the Nano Imaging Lab, with its five-member team and infrastructure, has contributed. SNI post Nanoscience in the Snow: The winter school of the SNI The annual “Nanoscience in the Snow” winter school took place this year in Waltensburg/Vuorz. For three days, participants enjoyed a diverse program: presenta- tions by doctoral students and researchers, a lively poster session, plenty of time for discussions on current research questions—and, of course, fun in the snow. The winter school is an ideal opportunity to present one’s own research to a broader audience while gaining new insights into other nanoscientific topics. This year, Alessandro Bruno won the Best Poster Award. SNI post Once a year, users of the Nano Imaging Lab provide insights into their exci- ting research, which is supported by the Nano Imaging Lab. Science and networking are the focus every year at the „Nanoscience in the Snow“ winter school. (Photos: A. Baumgartner, A. Grimm) 47 SNI INSight June 2026
