Metallic nanostructures (MetalNano)


Group dedicated to the preparation and study of nanostructured metallic systems, focusing on novel physical properties and potential applications in the fields of communications (ICT), energy and health. We have vast and long experience both in the manufacture of microstructures and nanostructures using physical vapor deposition and micro- and nanolithography techniques, as well as in the characterization and modeling of their properties at the nanoscale. The group has recently incorporated a cell culture laboratory to carry out biological tests associated with biomedical applications, in particular the use of electrical stimulation for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
