Research group description

NANOMO has top experts in various areas of X-ray interaction with matter. Broad spectrum of experimental techniques is benefitted in fundamental research from atomic electronic structure and molecular fragmentation to nanoparticles and atmospheric chemistry. Through interdisciplinary collaborations the techniques give insight to more applied research topics such as cellulose fiber nanostructures, chemistry of CO2 negative cements and microstructures of steels. Biological and biomedical applications have recently covered in-vivo insect eye tomography, lignan distribution in Norway spruce cell structure as well as nanospectromicroscopy of human tissue. Unit is also active in developing various methodologies in collaboration with facilities and is represented in scientific panels and boards (ESRF, MAX IV, Bessy (HZB)) and interacts in international facility landscape (e.g. LEAPS- League Of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources)
