Nanofactory Instruments develops and produces in-situ tools for electrical and mechanical probing inside the transmission electron microscope (TEM), without compromising its analytical capabilities. This combination of techniques enables simultaneous and correlated contact probing and manipulation of the sample while observing the sample with all the usual TEM techniques. This combined approach offers outstanding nanotechnology tools for manipulation, measurement and imaging on the atomic scale. The technique offers new opportunities for research and development in areas such as materials science, information technology and nanoscience.

The company’s solutions are based on miniaturized and patented scanning probe microscopes (SPM) that are small enough to fit inside the specimen holder of the TEM and it is the combination of two existing technologies that creates new opportunities for microscopy users. It gives the TEM user a set of manipulation and measurement tools and enables the SPM user to view and obtain information from the probe and sample at the nanoscale. The instruments make it easy to position and align a probe to conducting, semiconducting or non-conducting nanostructures with sub-nm precision, as well as characterizing, probing and imaging the object simultaneously. They enable electrical and mechanical probing of nanostructures inside the TEM and can be optimized for the study of dynamic processes.

The system consists of three main parts: a TEM specimen holder with an integrated SPM, control/measurement electronics and control/measurement software. We offer three different versions of the TEM holder: 1) electrical probing (STM-TEM), 2) micro-Newton probing (TEM-NanoIndenter) and 3) nano-Newton probing (TEM-AFM). The TEM holder fits instruments from any major TEM manufacturer without any modification of the TEM.

The DOMINO project ("Development and Obtaining of Innovative Materials based on Focused Nanotechnology") is a project developed by a consortium of 16 Spanish innovative companies, from different industrial sectors, with the aim of developing new and improved multifunctional products using nanomaterials. The industrial partners that have developed the DOMINO project are Tolsa, Abengoa Solar New Technologies, Acciona Infraestructuras, Grupo Antolín, Caiba, Cray Valley Ibérica, Francisco Albero S.A (FAE), Grupo General Cable Sistemas, Industrias Murtra, Keraben, Líneas y Cables, Linpac Plastics Pravia, Moldeo y Diseño, Plastic Omnium Equipamientos Exteriores, Grupo Repol and Sistemas y Procesos Avanzados.

The ultimate objective of the project has been the development of new nanostructured materials to obtain new products with improved properties and performance for different industrial markets: automotive, packaging, textiles, electricity and electronics, aeronautics, wind power, environment, ceramics, glass, construction and coatings.

The new nanomaterials developed and studied in this project have been carbon nanofibers produced by Grupo Antolin and nanomaterials based on sepiolite, a special needle-like clay produced by Tolsa. Nanocomposite materials with polymer, ceramic, glass and cement matrices have been obtained using these nanomateriales with improved characteristics such as mechanical properties, thermal resistance, fire retardancy, electrical conductivity, photocatalytic and self-cleaning activity, new aesthetic effects, biocide properties and wear resistance.

In 2003, the Taiwanese government committed to invest about US$554 million, over a period of six years (2003~2008), in the program. The main objectives of NSTP are through the establishment of common core facilities and education programs to achieve academic excellence in basic research, to create innovative industrial applications and to speed up the industrialization of nanotechnology. Currently NSTP, has moved into the second phase (2009~2014), with the new focus on the industrialization and commercialization of nanotechnology in the coming years.

On the other hand, the bridge program has the following objectives in sight:

1. Summary of technology inventory and analysis of key fields
2. inventory summary and analysis of advanced research projects
3. inventory summary and analysis of patents accumulated in key field
4. current industrial and commercial status analysis of key fields
5. Strategic planning of R&D results
6. application analysis for advanced research
7. feasibility analysis for intellectual property and technology transfer
8. workshop and forum for the collaboration among academics, research institutes and industry
9. Commercialization of technology
10. commercialization and transfer of advanced technology
11. exhibition of potential technology and promotion of further application
