AREA Science Park , Basovizza (Trieste)

Nanoscale Science is strongly driven by Scanning Probe Techniques  
which allow us to investigate and manipulate individual molecules,  
thus complementing electron- and ion beam techniques as well as laser  
spectroscopy. While the imaging capabilities of techniques such as  
STM, SFM, SNOM etc. dominated the application of these methods at  
their early development stages, the physics of probe-sample  
interactions, and the quantitative analysis of elastic, electronic  
and magnetic surface and transport properties became recently of  
increasing interest. Force spectroscopy allows us to gain information  
about folding and unfolding processes of individual protein molecules  
and other biologically relevant systems. Novel high resolution Near  
Field Optics enables us to inspect structures and transport phenomena  
even in living, i.e. biological active systems. Learning from  
biology, we may find new strategies to design and build up complex  
self organized systems which do not exist in nature. On this basis  
also novel synthetic 'bio-inspired' functional materials and systems  
may be developed.
