Surfaces and interfaces play a dominant role in controlling the aggregation and properties of inorganic, organic, and biological systems at the micro- and nano-scale. Understanding such phenomena and their applications is thus a key to advancing nanoscience and nanotechnology.
S3 is the CNR-NANO National Research Center devoted to "nanoStructures and bioSystems at Surfaces", and is based on a multidisciplinary approach and close interaction between experimental and theoretical activities.
Research at S3 is structured along the following lines:
1. Lipid-protein interaction in model membranes
2. Biomolecular interfacial electron transport
3. Electrical drive of biological reactions at surfaces
4. Single molecule manipulation by optical tweezers
5. Molecular magnetism
6. Magnetic molecules & nanoparticles at surfaces
7. Spintronics and nano-devices
8. Modelling of molecular spin clusters
9. Nanofabrication and high-resolution microscopy by ion and electron beams
10. Transmission Electron Microscopy
11. Nanoscale metal/oxide systems
12. Magnetic interactions at interfaces and confined systems
13. Hybrid organic-inorganic interfaces
14. Nanotribology and functionalized coatings
15. Nanofriction
16. Nanotribology
