2002- Director of Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO)
Since the beginning of the 80s, Prof. Besenbacher has performed groundbreaking research in the field of surface science. His research has provided atomic-level information on fundamental chemical processes occurring in, e.g. industrial catalysts or biological self-assembly processes. Prof. Besenbacher s group has built one of the best instruments in the world, the so-called Aarhus Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), for visualizing the structure and movement of atoms on surfaces.
The fantastic resolution of such STM movies is both visually tantalizing and unique for providing important scientific insight.
