Cover Story

With electrons to new findings

The first insights into the nanoworld only became possible through the development of new microscopes. Even today, innovations in the area of microscopy provide new knowledge on atomic and molecular structures that control many processes of life and are possible targets for the treatment of diseases.   more...

Professor Henning Stahlberg appreciates the flexibility and diversity of his profession and lives both of these values. He studied physics, but now teaches biology. He built up a successful research group in Davis (CA), but now leads a team of scientists at the Biozentrum in Basel. Preferably, he hires   more...


New Argovia projects

With the beginning of the new year we have started several new Argovia projects, which were approved in fall 2012. In this issue of SNI update we will introduce these five new research approaches.

Argovia projects are always run by teams of researchers from academia and industry. Two academic   more...
