Vortragender: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Sandro Keller Biophysics, Institute of Molecular Biosciences (IMB) University of Graz, Austria Zeit: Freitag, 16.10.2026 Beginn: 09:15 UhrNext-Generation Native Nanodiscs: From Polymers to Small-Molecule AmphiphilesAbstract: Native nanodiscs encapsulate individual membrane proteins or membrane-protein complexes within a lipid-bilayer environment, providing a versatile platform for biophysical and structural studies under well-controlled yet native-like conditions.Our laboratory focuses on developing methods for the direct, detergent-free extraction of proteins from cellular membranes into nanodiscs that preserve both the overall bilayer architecture and…

Vortragender: Joakim Kryger-Baggesen, PhD Senior Scientist, FELMI-ZFE Zeit: Freitag, 29.05.2026 Beginn: 09:15 UhrAdvancing Techniques for Characterizing Catalysts in Transmission Electron MicroscopyAbstract: Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) has developed into a cornerstone tool for catalysis research. As the properties of catalysts largely depend on the local structure, the atomic resolution of TEM offers unique possibilities of characterization. However, there exist limitations in the use of TEM in this context, including image interpretation and unwanted beam damage effects. In this seminar talk will…

Das Österreichische Zentrum für Elektronenmikroskopie und Nanoanalytik (FELMI-ZFE) zählt zu den führenden Mikro skopieeinrichtungen Europas in den physikalischen und werkstoffkundlichen Wissenschaften. Als leistungs starker Forschungsverbund vereint es zwei renommierte Institutionen: das Forschungsinstitut für Elektronenmikroskopie und Nanoanalytik (FELMI) sowie das Zentrum für Elektronenmikroskopie und Feinstrukturforschung (ZFE).

ACR Start-Up Preis 2023 BRAVE Analytics und das ZFE haben den ACR Start-Up-Preis 2023 gewonnen. Ausgezeichnet wurde die Entwicklung einer neuartigen Technologie zur dynamischen Charakterisierung von Nano-Teilchen.

Hybrid-Workshop: Korrelative Mikroskopie zur Charakterisierung von Mikro-& Nanoplastik FELMI-ZFE bei den MAT DAYS 2023 des Kunststoff-Cluster in St. Pölten! Wir freuen uns dort neue Partner und Interessenten zu treffen!

Easter Calendar 2024 Der Frühling kommt, die Blumen beginnen zu blühen! Ermutigt durch die zahlreichen positiven Rückmeldungen zu unserem Adventkalender 2023 und auf allgemeinen Wunsch hin zeigen wir in der Kar-Woche die Pollen einiger schöner Pflanzen, die wir untersucht haben.

Being able to see and analyse materials at atomic resolution, has been a strong motivation for improving the electron microscope. However, the resolution of the conventional transmission electron microscope (TEM) was limited to around 0.2 nanometre, which is slightly larger than the diameter of atoms.

The ESTEEM3 initiative brings together the leading European laboratories equipped with the most advanced TEM installations and thereby aims to be the key European multi-site research and user infrastructure platform for advanced electron microscopy characterisations.

TU Graz SciPix is a photo and video competition held at TU Graz, which focuses the spotlight on the diverse research being carried out at the Styrian research institution.

The project partner of this cooperation Borkenstein & Borkenstein is a medical practice, which is highly specialized on cataract surgeries. In this operation, the intraocular lens (IOL) replaces the natural eye lens while the lens sheath remains.

In March 2018, the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Direct-Write Fabrication of 3D Nano-Probes  (CDL DEFINE) was officially opened under the auspices of Rector Univ.-Prof. DI Dr. Harald Kainz at Graz University of Technology.

High-Fidelity 3D Nanoprinting of Plasmonic Gold Nanoantennas D. Kuhness, A. Gruber, R. Winkler, J. Sattelkow, H. Fitzek, I. Letofsky-Pabst, G. Kothleitner and H. PlankThe interest in plasmonics and in particular in nano-plasmonics is still unbroken, due to their highly interesting physics and potential applications such as nano-emitters or high-performance sensors.
