The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC) had a strong presence at the 51st International Micro and Nano Engineering (MNE) Conference, held from September 15th to 18th in Southampton, United Kingdom. With three oral presentations and eight posters, IMB-CNM researchers showcased recent advances in nanofabrication and quantum devices. Among the highlights, Teresa Elenes Cervantes received the Best Poster Award, congratulations!

Francesc Pérez Murano, CSIC Research Professor, member of the NanoNEMS group and IMB-CNM deputy director, also attended the Scientific Steering Committee Meeting. 

This continued presence at MNE underscores the institute’s commitment to excellence and collaboration in the field of micro- and nanotechnology. A total of 16 IMB-CNM researchers attended the MNE, 7 women and 9 men.
