Dutch micro & nanotechnology is at the heart of industrial progress

The development of high-tech systems and materials is a key industry in the Netherlands. Micro and nanotechnology are important sources of employment, focusing on technological advancement. Micro and nanotechnologies differ from each other because of the scale on which they function: production on a scale of the micro or nanometre (millionth or billionth of a metre, respectively). In nanotechnology, the disciplines biology, chemistry, electrical engineering and physics come together. Individual atoms can be observed and manipulated, and the manipulation of atoms can lead to the formation of new structures that have ... More >
