Overview
About NANOscientific Forum
Location & Host
Program
The European edition, NSFE, is an open SPM User Forum focusing on sharing and exchanging cutting-edge research for both materials and life science disciplines using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). It offers participants the opportunity to present their research and come together for scientific talks, networking sessions, and live demonstrations of Park Systems instruments. Thus, the conference reinforces collaboration within the European Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) community and fosters future advancements in nanoscience.
The 8th edition of the NANOscientific Forum Europe will take place from the 17th to the 19th of September 2025 at the Laboratory of Solid State Physics (LPS), located in Orsay, France, about 25 km southwest of Paris. The scientific focus this year will be on Magnetic Force Microscopy and 2D Materials, as well as innovative methods in nanotechnology and correlative microscopy.
The LPS is a research institute of the Paris-Saclay University, associated with the National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS) as a joint research unit (French UMR 8502). Their research in condensed matter physics is divided into three main topics:
- New electronic states of matter
- Physical phenomena with reduced dimensions
- Soft matter including biological systems
The faculty researchers are actively involved in teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, particularly in the "Physics of Condensed Matter" master’s program. They also engage in large-scale outreach actions, such as the Year of Superconductivity and the International Year of Crystallography.
This year’s host, Dr. Stanislas Rohart, is a staff researcher at the LPS. A specialist in magnetic imaging (STM and MFM) and micromagnetism, he pioneered investigations on the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in ultrathin films and its consequences on chiral domain walls and skyrmions. His present research mostly focuses on magnetic skyrmions in ferromagnetic and magnetically compensated films. He is the author of more than 50 papers in international journals.
The scientific focus this year will include Magnetic Force Microscopy and 2D Materials, as well as new developments and innovative methods in nanotechnology and correlative microscopy. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from and engage with distinguished keynote speakers, such as our host Stanislas Rohart and Prof. Dr. Lukas Eng from TU Dresden, among others.
As in previous years, there will be Hands-on Sessionson Park Systems tools, showcasing basic and advanced measuring techniques, as well as tips and tricks on how to obtain stunning AFM and ISE data. The event will extend beyond scientific discussions and offer participants many networking opportunities, such as the conference dinner, poster session, and social event. More information will follow soon. In the meantime, check out the NSFE2024 highlight video.
