About Ångströmhuset
At Campus Valla in Linköping, there is a unique building entirely clad in titanium, Ångströmhuset. The building houses one of Europe's most powerful electron microscopes, where new materials are studied and built at the atomic level, particularly metals and new semiconductor materials.
The architectural design of the building aims to reflect the high-tech research conducted at Linköping University. The microscope imposes stringent building requirements regarding stability, temperature, sound, air quality, and electromagnetic fields.
The location of the building has been carefully considered to meet the high demands of the microscope, such as vibration-free conditions. The microscope room is also internally clad entirely in metal to shield against electromagnetic radiation, and the floor where the microscope is placed is anchored to the bedrock to eliminate vibrations.
