  • Review Article Highlights 25 Years of Modern Near-field Optical Nanoimaging

    A newly published review article in Nature Reviews Materials highlights the groundbreaking impact of scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM), a technique that surpasses the diffraction limit to achieve nanoscale optical imaging across a broad spectral range. Authored by leading experts in the field, the review traces the evolution of s-SNOM and its expanding applications in nanophotonics, materials science, and quantum research.

  • Scientists synthesize 2D polyaniline crystal with unique metallic out-of-plane conductivity

    In a recent study published in Nature, an international team of researchers in which nanoGUNE scientists participate has developed a groundbreaking two-dimensional conducting polymer—polyaniline (2DPANI)—that exhibits exceptional electrical conductivity and metallic charge transport behavior. Unlike conventional conducting polymers, which show strong conduction along polymer chains but suffer from poor interchain/interlayer conductivity, 2DPANI overcomes these limitations with its unique crystal structure, enabling efficient electron flow both within and across its layers.

  • Emakumeak Zientzian highlights the power of every small step towards equality

    The 9th edition of Emakumeak Zientzian [Women in Science] kicks off in a festive atmosphere and highlights how each small step can make a difference on the road to equality in science. Thirty-five Basque organizations are jointly running a wide-ranging programme of over 60 activities in the 9th edition of Emakumeak Zientzian.

  • CIC nanoGUNE celebrates its anniversary with a poster session

    CIC nanoGUNE celebrates its 16th anniversary with a poster session. The event featured the participation of 12 pre-doctoral researchers who showcased their research through high-quality posters and pitches.

  • Meeting on the digital future of Euskadi

    CIC nanoGUNE participates in a meeting organized by BRTA to analyze the current situation and establish clear strategies for Euskadi and Europe in the field of digital technologies. Researchers Fèlix Casanova and Fernando González-Zalba have participated in a round table to present the advances in spintronics and quantum technologies. 

  • Emakumeak Zientzian 2025: small steps, big changes

    Thirty-five Basque organizations are jointly running a wide-ranging program of over 60 activities in the 9th edition of Emakumeak Zientzian [Women in Science]. This edition mainly aims to emphasize the concept of “Hazia erein / Siembra la semilla” [Sowing the seed], highlighting how every small step can make a difference on the road to equality in science. Registrations for the various activities are already open at www.emakumeakzientzian.eus

  • IPLEXMED and MindSens winners of the III Global Graphene Call

    The international call launched by CIC nanoGUNE, BerriUp, Graphenea, Fomento San Sebastián and BIC Gipuzkoa, seeks revolutionary ideas that tackles the potential of graphene in industrial and technological applications. The two winning companies will benefit from a tailored four-month training and acceleration program, with access to resources provided by the organizing entities.

  • Basque Minister Mikel Jauregi visits Quantum Motion following their decision to establish in Euskadi

    Quantum Motion will establish in Euskadi through an agreement with CIC nanoGUNE. The goal will be scientific-industrial collaboration to design the first silicon quantum chip. 

  • The Basque Science Minister visits nanoGUNE

    The Minister for Science, Universities, and Innovation of the Basque  Government, Juan Ignacio Perez, and the Deputy Minister for Universities  and Research, Adolfo Morais, have visited CIC nanoGUNE. The  representatives of the new department of the Basque Government met Jose M.  Pitarke and Javier Martinez Ojinaga, Director-General and President of  nanoGUNE respectively, and had the opportunity to get a close look at  the course and projection of the Basque center on nanoscience and  nanotechnology.

  • The first-ever 2D spintronics device constructed entirely from proximitized structures

    Researchers from CIC nanoGUNE, in collaboration with international partners, have achieved the first seamless 2D spintronics device made entirely from proximitized structures. They report a two-dimensional graphene spin valve that is enabled by proximity to the van der Waals magnet Cr2Ge2Te6. Published in Nature Electronics, this innovative work lays the groundwork for a new research field and advancements in spintronics technology.
