Hysitron Nanobrücken 2015 Workshop and User Meeting



Nanobrücken 2015 is an annual nanomechanical testing workshop and Hysitron User Meeting. This year the event will be on 21-23 April 2015 at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany.

All are welcome – the workshop covers all aspects of nanomechanical and nanotribological testing, including biomechanical, in-situ experimentation and theory/simulation. This will be the 5th edition of the Nanobrücken workshop series, previously held at INM Saarbrücken and TU Dresden and Fraunhofer IZFP Dresden.

As well as the talks and competitions, there will be a conference banquet, awards and a social evening.
