Bacteria readily adhere on all types of surfaces and form biofilms. The biofilm protects the colonizing microorganisms and thus, bacteria in a biofilm can be several orders of magnitude more resistant to antibacterial agents than their planktonic counterparts.

Helium ion microscopy (HIM) offers the ability to carry out both high precision ion machining and sub-nanometer resolution imaging with high surface sensitivity in order to inspect patterns created in graphene.
The NPVE combines extensive, flexible NanoPatterning capability with increasingly vital Visualization of signals generated by the patterning beam, bringing together a wealth of information which complements the existing imaging capabilities of the CrossBeam® instruments.
As nanoscale tools become more sophisticated, so does our ability to design and to assemble increasingly complex, precise supramolecular structures and devices.
