Further partners in the new center are the EMPA, a Swiss national research institution, and several Lithuanian universities. In the new center scientists will research novel nanoscale structures and devices, thus paving the way for energy efficient high performance computing. Since its invention nanotechnology has turned into a key technology not only for the IT industry but also for many other fields such as healthcare or the energy sector. Zurich was a natural choice for the new center as IBM Research – Zurich is considered the birthplace of nanotechnology. Here IBM scientists Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer invented the scanning tunneling microscope for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1986.
