Nanomanipulation Workshop 2026

The nanomanipulation workshop series provides an international forum for researchers at the forefront of nanoscale science and technology to exchange knowledge, present advances, and foster collaboration in the field of controlled manipulation of nanoscale objects, (bio)molecules, atoms, charges, spins or even photons down to the atomic scale

The workshop brings together experts working with scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and complementary experimental techniques to address the challenges associated. This also includes basic techniques of manipulation, theoretical description of manipulation processes as well as applications ranging from nano- and mesoscale friction to spontaneous assembly of nano-objects. 

The 10th Nanomanipulation workshop follows the 1st Workshop in Cascais (Portugal), 2nd in Tartu (Estonia), 3rd in Madrid (Spain), 4th in Kraków (Poland), 5th in Mulhouse (France), 6th in Giessen (Germany), 7th in Jena (Germany), 8th in Krakow (Poland) and 9th in Madrid (Spain).

We invite you to join us to learn the latest advances in this multidisciplinary field while enjoying the incomparable landscape of the French Alps.

Scope of the workshop

  • Advanced techniques of manipulation using scanning probe microscopy
  • Theoretical description of manipulation processes
  • Atomic-scale friction and superlubricity
  • Controlled construction of atomic or molecular structures
  • Controlled manipulation of (bio)molecules in liquid environments
  • Single-molecule manipulation at low temperature
  • Manipulation of charge, spin and photon in atoms and molecules
