The joy of seeing something new emerging is great – Q&A with Erika Eiser
Erika Eiser is a Professor at NTNU’s Department of Physics and a Principal Investigator at PoreLab. Here she talks to science writer Kelly Oakes about her research plans, why she chose NTNU, and what Chinese Century eggs have got to do with soft matter physics.
You can actually see the atoms in 3D: Q&A with Paraskevas Kontis
Paraskevas (Paris) Kontis joined NTNU in September 2021 as Associate Professor in Materials Science and Engineering. His work focuses on the relationship between materials’ properties and chemistry at the atomic level. Here, he speaks with NTNU Nano science writer Kelly Oakes about his current research and plans for the future.
The lab-created colours inspired by feathers and soap bubbles
Birds, butterflies, and many other natural objects get their bright colours from intricate structures on their surfaces. Now researchers at NTNU have used the same principle to create colours with clay nanostructures.
“Tries, (energy) conversions, and goals”: Q&A with Jacob Joseph Lamb
Jacob Lamb is an associate professor in sustainable energy systems in the department of energy and process engineering at NTNU. His research is focused on environmentally friendly energy storage technologies.
A better, greener kind of electronics: Q&A with Julian Walker
Julian Walker is a newly appointed associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at NTNU. Originally trained as a Ceramic Engineer, he now develops functional materials based on engineered molecular crystals – crystalline solids that, like sugar, are formed from molecules held…
3D-printing for a cleaner planet: Q&A with Jan Torgersen
Jan Torgersen is a professor of mechanical engineering at NTNU whose research focuses on the interplay between a material’s shape and its function. Torgersen spoke to us about his life and work at NTNU and his vision for a cleaner planet.
Inventor of the NTNU Corona test method: Q&A with Sulalit Bandyopadhyay
Sulalit Bandyopadhyay and his team invented the NTNU Corona test method in collaboration with Magnar Bjørås’ team at the Department fo Clinical and Molecular Medicine. The test is now being widely used, not only nationally but also abroad.

The Kavli Prize to pioneers in Electron Microscopy!
Congratulations to the four researchers who were awarded the Kavli Prize in Nanoscience on Wednesday 27 May 2020!
Harald Rose, Max Haider, Ondrej Krivanek and Knut Urban received the Kavli Prize for realizing sub-Ångstrøm imaging and chemical analysis in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using aberration correction. Their work makes it possible to «see» atoms.
Removing sticky droplets and making super repellent surfaces
NTNU research has come closer to making a surface that is self-cleaning even when there is strong humidity. To achieve this, we have combined pyramidical structures with nanowire structures in the nano lab.
