AFM Workshop at CSIC, Garcia Lab (Madrid, SPAIN)
2018-11-30 09:00 - 15:30 UTC | CSIC Madrid, Calle Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, 3, Madrid, Madrid, 28049, Spain
Discover the Power of Multifrequency AFM
AFM is experiencing a current evolution from single to multifrequency excitation and detection schemes to yield more quantitative information about nanoscale material properties. This free workshop, hosted in conjunction with CSIC and the Ricardo Garcia Lab, is a solid introduction to multifrequency imaging that will cover the history, fundamentals and current applications. Lectures and hands-on demonstrations will focus on nanomechanics and multifrequency imaging modes. We’ll also present the latest innovations on video-rate imaging. Demonstrations will be done on the Asylum Research Cypher AFM with blueDrive photothermal excitation.
Speakers
Prof. Ricardo Garcia, ICMM-CSIC
Rafaël Barbattini and Julien Lopez, Oxford Instruments Asylum Research
Nikos Ekizoglou, Irida

Scanning Tiny Biology (Barcelona, SPAIN)
2018-12-12 09:30 - 15:30 | IBEC, Baldiri Reixac 4-8, Barcelona, Spain
Scanning Tiny Biology is a workshop dedicated to life sciences and nanomedicine applications of Scanning Probe Microscopies (SPM). These techniques provide quantitative information from local and single-molecule measurements, unveiling signatures that are normally obscured by the ensemble average in bulk experiments. With SPM, specific biological mechanisms can be elucidated, providing novel solutions for healthcare.
This meeting will give an overview on advances in the field through keynote presentations and discussions, joining national and international experts. Topics include the study of biophysics of molecules, membranes and cells combining imaging and spectroscopy measurements.
Who should attend? Chemists, physicists, biologists, biophysicists and nanotechnologists and any other curious scientist.

XXI. Annual Linz Winter Workshop (Linz, AUSTRIA)
2019-01-28 - 2019-02-04 | Sommerhotel Julius-Raab-Heim, Julius-Raab-Str. 10, Linz, A-4040
Advances in Single-Molecule Research for Biology & Nanoscience

The Linz Winter Workshop will focus on biological single-molecule research and nanoscience, and include force and optical microscopy/spectroscopy techniques. This year, special sessions on nano-medicine and high-speed atomic force microscopy will be organized. It is the aim to provide a common platform for industry and academia.
We will also arrange a skiing day in the Austrian Alps on Friday, February 1, and a Winter School for young scientists and new-comers from January 29 until January 31.

21st International Scanning Probe Microscopy (ISPM) Conference (Louvain-la-Neuve, BELGIUM)
2019-05-26 - 2019-05-29 | ISPM, Rue de l’Hocaille 1, Louvain-La-Neuve, 1348, Belgium
International Scanning Probe Microscopy

The International Scanning Probe Microscopy (ISPM) Conference in Louvain-la-Neuve 2019 is the 21st in a continuing series of international meetings featuring research on scanning probe microscopy (SPM), sensors, and nanostructures that began in Seattle in 1999 and was followed by the annual conferences held in US, Europe, Asia, and South America. It is aimed at researchers working on the development of scanning probe microscopy techniques, as well as users of scanning probe microscopes from all scientific and industrial disciplines such as materials science, basic physics, life sciences, semiconductor industry and energy industry.
