I work in an ultra-clean room on ultra-small chips
Luis Fonseca leads research into micro-, nano- and photonic chip technologies that could kill cancer cells, protect the environment and facilitate space research.
The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona, in Spain, where we research and develop micro- and nanotechnology, hosts the largest ‘clean room’ in southern Europe, at 1,500 square metres. A clean room is a controlled environment where pollutants such as dust, airborne microorganisms and aerosol particles are filtered out.
