A couple of new «protected»monsters, Nion and TEAM 1 However, if you have the authorization and the right equipment, you may peep at the inside (with the permission of U. Dahmen, NCEM, Berkeley) For sure, you will learn a lot about instruments, interpretation and applications during the week at the Windsor Barra Convention Centre Happy and sad news from IFSM Microscopy and Nobel prizes 2006 ‐ 2009 In Physics 9 October 2007 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2007 jointly to Albert Fert Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS/THALES, Université Paris‐Sud, Orsay, France, and Peter Grünberg Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, "for the discovery of Giant Magnetoresistance".
