**New (cryo-)FIB monster at nanoGUNE**
**new opportunities and research prospectives**
Dr. Evgenii Modin, CIC nanoGUNE
&
Ikerbasque Research Professor Nicola Abrescia, CIC bioGUNE
In November 2021, nanoGUNE was awarded by the Ministry of Science and
Technology of the Spanish Government a project grant for the acquisition of a
new FIB. The equipment will be a state-of-the-art focused ion beam electron
microscope, which will combine features that are not normally present together
in a single instrument: an extensive set of detectors for materials science
applications; Xe plasma ion source for high speed milling targeting for
batteries sector and industry; TOF SIMS for isotope resolved elemental
analysis; and a cryogenic setup, typically dedicated to biological
applications. This combination of features in a single instrument will be
unique in Europe and will provide new research opportunities in the **energy
sector** , in **materials science related to low-temperature physics** , and
in **biological sciences related to cryo-cell electron tomography**.
In this seminar presentation, we will describe the technologies behind this
new equipment and outline the new research lines (e.g. virus-cell infection
structural studies lead by the Abrescia Lab at CIC bioGUNE).
In conclusion, the new (cryo)-FIB will promote new interactions for the
nanoGUNE scientists, and for the Basque and the Spanish research communities.
