Welcome to the Nanolino Lab
at the Department of Physics, University of Basel!


Our research interest focuses on the structure of insulating surfaces, molecular layers on surfaces, nanotribology, and instrumental development of force microscopy.

Death of Urs GYsin
2023-05-25

We are sad to announce the passing of
Dr. phil. nat. Urs Gysin
12.02.1970 – 19.5.2023

He was permanent researcher in our group and realized wonderful scanning probe microscopes, such as the pendulum AFM and the large area ultrahigh vacuum force microscope.
He was very active in the advanced lab courses and many students enjoyed to perform experiments with him as a tutor.
His death leaves a large gap and it is hard to imagine a world without him.

Our thoughts are with him and his family

Ernst Meyer
In the name of the Nanolino group
