Research fields

CIC nanoGUNE focuses its research activities on the following four major strategic areas:

Physics of low-dimensional structures, nanostructures and nanoscale structured complex systems.
Synthesis, assembling and nanofabrication of nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanotubes, thin films, nanocomposites) and nanostructured materials.
Development of nanodevices and its impact on molecular electronics, spintronics, nanomagnetism and nanophotonics.
Biofunctional nanoparticles and nanobiotechnology

The research programme is implemented through 10 research groups.

The size of animals dating back 100-350 million years ago inferred from resurrected proteins

04/07/2017

The prestigious journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology has published a piece of research conducted by CIC nanoGUNE researchers. They have experimentally reconstructed titin fragments from their common ancestors and measured their mechanochemical properties. They have discovered a correlation between the properties of the protein measured on a nanoscale and animal size.
