Verner Håkonsen Is Working with Cutting Edge Nanotechnology

Caption

Where old meets new: Verner Håkonsen is working with cutting edge nanotechnology as he studies self-assembling supercrystals. But he's being helped in his research by the old-fashioned copper magnetic coils from the NTNU Physics Department. Their structure allows Håkonsen to create a magnetic field around his nanocubes, which are inside the coils in a crucible. The magnetic field induces the cubes to self-assemble in distinct patterns.
