Spain: Basque Country

Overview

CIC nanoGUNE is a Research Centre where the generation and transfer of scientific and technological knowledge is one of the driving forces of its activity. NanoGUNE works on the optimisation of processes or materials` properties that indirectly can lead to a cost reduction. Some case studies are surface treatments to optimise the rugosity, metallic or insulating coatings, optimisation of magnetic components, electrical properties characterisation at different temperatures and a whole range of physical and chemical characterisation of materials. We also offer a very effective and innovative solution to metal corrosion. In addition, we are at moment entering the field of quantum technologies.
