The Institute has a number of well-equipped laboratories, which allows to operate at various levels of the process of research and technological innovation.
The “Facilities” section of the website offers a complete and detailed tour of these valuable resources.
In addition to this, ICMATE wants to propose a journey that, from week to week, will lead to the discovery of its vast technology park.
This week's featured laboratories

UNIT:
MILAN
The laboratory is equipped with several laser spectroscopic systems for the development of advanced optical/spectroscopic techniques for chemical and morphological characterization of nanoparticles. In particular aerosols and micro-pollutants at the exhaust of combustion systems and in the environment are investigated.
New energy devices (catalytic or not) for micro-generation are also currently under development.
