We're thrilled to highlight two milestone installations that are advancing nanotechnology research:
🔹 UESC (Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz), Ilhéus, Bahia - where the CSI Nano-Observer is enabling groundbreaking research in biomedicine and environmental science
At UESC, researchers are using the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) to visualize structures at the nanometric scale, advancing critical research in:
🧬 Radiation effects on DNA
💊 Nanodrug delivery optimization
🌱 Molecular interactions in cacao diseases
🌍 Characterization of nanoplastics and emerging pollutants
Congratulations to Professor Dr. Fermín García Velasco and the entire research team at UESC for leading nanotechnology innovation in the region!

🔹 Presidente Prudente, São Paulo – our recent installation of the Nano-Observer II is strengthening advanced research at the Department of Physics (FCT/Unesp).
Here, the Atomic Force Microscope supports frontier studies on:
⚡ Nanostructured thin films and interfaces
🔬 Development of electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical sensors
🌱 Sustainable and biodegradable devices for environmental monitoring
☣ Detection and remediation of pesticides, heavy metals, and emerging contaminants
These research directions not only advance fundamental nanoscience but also address urgent challenges in public health and environmental sustainability.
