We offer tailored services and solutions in the fields of: ■ Analysis and characterization ■ Applied R&D projects ■ Fabrication of nanostructures ■ Thesis projects (BSc, MSc) UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ NSC Nanoscience Center From Laboratory to the World ■ J. Gilbert and K. Garg received the 2014 Best of Biotech award for TICK-TAG; a diagnostic kit, detects Tick-Borne Disease Pathogens. ■ J. Toppari’s Window Integrated Solar Collector was chosen one of the seven projects of New Indigo ERA-NET of EU. It proposes a novel principle of separating the heat (IR part) from the visible light and use it for energy generation.
