ENRIS (European Symposium on Nanofabrication Research Infrastructure) is a biannual international symposium focused on nanofabrication cleanroom operation, management, and user training. The 4th edition will be held in Bologna from May 13-15, 2025.

Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a new method for fabricating flat magnetic nanostructures. The new method makes it possible to create combinations of materials at the nanometer scale that were previously beyond reach with conventional lithography.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and at the University of Magdeburg in Germany have developed a novel type of nanomechanical resonator that combines two important features: high mechanical quality and piezoelectricity. This development could open doors to new possibilities in quantum sensing technologies.

Chalmers has appointed Professor Anne Borg from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) as the new chair of the steering committee for the national research infrastructure Myfab. Anne Borg will assume her new role on November 1, 2024, and will lead the steering committee until October 31, 2026.

A specially designed diamond coronagraph can be used to search for Earth-like planets in other solar systems, such as Alpha Centauri. This summer, four diamond coronagraphs manufactured at Uppsala University will be delivered to the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) in Chile.
