NEXT-TIP

NEXT-TIP is a technology-based company established in 2012. NEXT-TIP is a spin-off of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), which is the third largest in Europe and the largest public institution dedicated to research in Spain. The NEXT-TIP Technology is the result of more than 6 years of research under the scientific guidance of Dr. Yves Huttel, Dra. Elisa Román and Dra. Lidia Martínez (co-founders of the company). NEXT-TIP is a participating company by B-Able. It works with ... B-Able (co-founder) in the management tasks. TECHNOLOGY The technology is based on the coating of the AFM tips with nanoparticles of controlled size and chemical composition. The deposition is performed under Ultra High Vacuum conditions what guaranties the purity of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles deposited at the end of the tips do act as the final probes in microscopy, enhancing the spatial resolution with the intrinsic physical and chemical properties of the nanoparticles.More
