OtaNano

Micronova

Micronova is part of OtaNano - Finland's national research infrastructure for micro- and nanotechnology. It is run jointly by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Aalto University. Our mission is to develop innovative, enabling technologies, and to apply these in practical micro- and nanosystems. Research at Micronova focuses on micro and nanotechnology, material and device physics, and optics.

Optics and Photonics

The research of the Optics and Photonics group covers a range of topics of modern optics and photonics, encompassing various aspects of light-matter interaction, optical coherence and polarization, development of methods to manipulate light with nano- and micro-structures, design and construction of novel light sources, optical metamaterials and optical imaging.

opticsphotonics

Quantum Computing and Devices (QCD)

We have a major effort on experimental low-temperature physics, but we also carry out computational and theoretical work down to fundamental quantum mechanics.

Pico - Quantum Phenomena and Devices

We investigate mesoscopic physics and its sensor applications. The main focus is on charge transport and thermal properties of metallic, superconducting and hybrid nanostructures.

Join the event to follow discussion on how AI is shaping the future of aesthetics. Attend onsite at Marsio or online. This event is part of a series of events discussing AI and creative technologies.
This picture shows testing how well the ground penetrating measurements work. The depth of the lake and the layers in the lake bottom are expected to be visible in the measurement profile. The ground penetrating radar that was constructed during the dissertation work is in a plastic box in the middle of the raft. The author of the dissertation Veli Voipio is in the picture.
