Research

The priority research area KiNSIS brings together established and young scientists from physics, chemistry, life sciences and engineering from Kiel University and external partners. They explore natural and artificial nanosystems and their interactions with the environment to develop innovative solutions for medicine, energy and information technology. The pooling of interdisciplinary expertise and diverse methods helps to realise innovative, demanding and elaborate research projects and thus to advance permanently the nanoscience profile of Kiel University.

MAIN TOPICS

Research projects

Interdisciplinary cooperation projects, research networks such as Collaborative Research Centres and Research Training Groups as well as other large-scale research projects are being developed in the KiNSIS network.

 

RESEARCH PROJECTS

Networked Matter

Global challenges in the areas of health, energy and the environment can be described as the management of dynamic networks. A scientific initiative of the Universities of Kiel and Rostock is investigating a novel concept of material solutions directly intervening in a dynamic system to enhance it: Networked Matter.
