Eesti teadlane aitab CERNile luua järgmise põlvkonna osakestekiirendit

Tartu Ülikooli tehnoloogiainstituudi materjalitehnoloogia professor Veronika Zadin pendeldab Tartu ja Genfi vahel päris tihti. Ta nimetab ennast kiirendifüüsikuks ning tema teadus on suunatud kiirendi arendamisele, töökindlusele ja seal kasutatavatele materjalidele omaduste tundma õppimisele. CERN on Veronika arvates otsekui meepott, mis tõmbab ligi nutikaid inimesi tervest maailmast. Loe rohkem SIIT!

Mart Ernits, PhD!

Mart Ernits will defend his thesis 28.05.2026

He will defend his doctoral thesis “Microfluidic Production and Characterization of Liposomes Toward Localized Payload Release” to obtain the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Technology). 💊 Mart’s research focuses on advancing drug delivery technologies through microfluidics. Liposomes—nanoscale lipid vesicles—are widely used as carriers for therapeutic compounds due to their biocompatibility and versatility. However, conventional production […]

Invisible wires will make the future?

If you got intrigued and want to find out, read the article about nanowires written by our team’s PhD student Elyad Damerchi. The article explains easily how to turn silver nanosized wires into reliable see-through conductors. The article can be found from Research in Estonia webpage!

A new publication in Ultramicroscopy!

Ehsan Moradpur-Tari, Andreas Kyritsakis, Mohadeseh Karimkhah and Veronika Zadin have published a new article “A correlation-based optimization model to recover lost and distorted data from scanning tunneling microscopy images based on density functional theory”. If you are interested in what they found out and what are they proposing, go and have a read!

MATTERlab team on the loose!

In October and November, some of the MATTER team members visited colleagues in Latvia and France! On 28th of October, colleagues from University of Latvia (in Riga) greeted professor Veronika Zadin and MATTER team members Ankur Singh and Tauno Tiirats, to foresee several joint experimental and computational directions. Full post on LinkedIn here! From 19th […]

Congratulations to Veikko Linko!

Rõõm jagada suurepärast uudist! Novembri lõpus kuulutas Eesti Teadusagentuur välja 2025. aasta personaalsete uurimistoetuste saajad ning meie instituudi teadlased pälvisid kokku kolm granti. See on oluline tunnustus instituudi teadustööle ja annab võimaluse jätkata ning edasi arendada kõrgetasemelisi uurimisprojekte. Toetuse saanud projektide seas oli ka MATTER labori liige molekulaarse nanotehnoloogia kaasprofessor Veikko Pentti Linko! „DRAGON – […]

EU funding for a New MSCA Doctoral Network
