The research focus

The research focus Metrology covers the topic of measurement in all its diversity. At TU Braunschweig, this diversity comes together in one place in the Laboratory for Emerging Nanometrology (LENA). There, our researchers investigate atomic structures in a high-resolution electron microscope. Or, they develop their own unique devices to enter uncharted territory, such as terahertz frequencies.


Starting from such basic research of measurement, our researchers in the research focus Metrology put the knowledge gained into practice. For example, in the epitaxy competence center ec², they reduce LEDs to nanometer size and use them to produce fist-sized microscopes that work beyond the diffraction limit.

Another special feature of the Metrology research focus is the many connections to our partners. In the Cluster of Excellence QuantumFrontiers, we are conducting joint research with the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt and Leibniz Universität Hannover on the limits of the measurable. The advance into unprecedented sensitivity and precision lays the foundation for developing a scalable quantum computer together with industrial partners in Quantum Valley Lower Saxony.
