I hope this newsletter finds you well and that you had a wonderful start to the new year.
2022 was an eventful year at Nanosurf:
Dominik Ziegler, CEO
We launched WaveMode, celebrated our 25th anniversary, and received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback on the DriveAFM. Moreover, we finished the year with the launch of Nanosurf Studio, our brand-new control software suite.
In addition to these achievements, we also launched the AFM Master Class, a series of webinars designed to provide new users with a crash course in AFM and give experienced users the chance to refresh their knowledge or learn about the latest developments of new scanning probe technologies.
We look forward to the new year with plenty of energy and enthusiasm, and hope that you'll join us as we continue to push the boundaries of AFM and provide reliable tools and solid support to help you explore the smallest features on this planet.
We wish you all a successful 2023.
Regards,
Dominik Ziegler, CEO
DriveAFM wins Wiley Analytical Science Award 2023
We are pleased to share that Nanosurf’s DriveAFM was selected by Wiley’s readership as the winner of the 2023 Wiley Analytical Science Award in the category Spectroscopy and Microscopy.
For Nanosurf this is not only a reward for the outstanding work of our development and engineering teams, who designed and built this instrument with the goal to create a stable, high-end AFM for diverse types of research that is still easy to use. It is also a confirmation that after only two years in the market, the DriveAFM is now established as one of the most sought-after AFMs in the very competitive high-end sector.
A huge thank you to all who gave us their trust by voting for the DriveAFM. Stay tuned for continuing expansion of the DriveAFM’s functionality suite. A lot more is to come in the near future.

Visit Nanosurf at booth 709! Our team of AFM experts is eager to discuss your applications and trends in nanotechnology with you.
See live demonstrations of the DriveAFM with live AFM measurements - and if you have not yet seen Nanosurf Studio, our new intuitive control software for the DriveAFM, this is your opportunity.
Reach out to us in advance of the show to schedule a time for your personal extensive DriveAFM demonstration.
Nanosurf application scientist Héctor Corte-León was a co-author on a paper published in the journal Advanced Materials Interfaces that explored the use of a hybrid electron transport layer made of organic PDINO and inorganic titanium oxide (TiOx) in perovskite solar cells. The results showed that this layer consistently improved the cells' performance and had a more flat and homogeneous film morphology.
This research was conducted by the Laboratory of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. In this study, the researchers used the DriveAFM to analyze the surface of the hybrid electron transport layer and observe its film morphology.
CINT is shared user facility and welcomes external proposals from the general research community.
