The INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken and Hysitron, Inc. are pleased to jointly present “Nanobrücken II: A Nanomechanical Testing Workshop” and Hysitron User Meeting, with co-sponsorship from the JEOL company.
Professor Jeff De Hosson of the University of Groningen will deliver the keynote address to commence the workshop. This year’s workshop aims to highlight the very latest in nanomechanics and nanotribology research, including the use of complementary techniques, such as in-situ observation in electron microscopes, simultaneous electrical characterization, superimposed dynamic testing, acoustic emission monitoring, and more. The workshop seeks to cover a broad range of materials and structures, as well as the influence of temperature and other environmental conditions, and is also open to computational contributions.
