Miko Elwenspoek appointed as FRIAS fellow

Miko Elwenspoek was appointed external senior fellow at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) School for Soft Matter Research. For all of 2008, he will work on supermaterials in his sabbatical leave.

Supermaterials are made of nano- and micro sized building blocks that, under suitable conditions selfassemble into materials with new properties. Currently well-known examples of supermaterials are photonic crystals and meta-materials with negative refractive indices. However, he sees greater challenges and possibilities in using the buildingblocks to mimic biological materials or in building systems from building blocks with internal degrees of freedom.
