On Thursday 29th September 2016 the annual NanoDay of the Laboratory of Nano and Quantum Engineering took place in Hannover/Germany. In eight lectures and a poster session with 41 posters in total the latest research results from the interdisciplinary working groups in the field of nanotechnology were presented. The Poster prizes funded by Leibniz Universitätsgesellschaft e. V. were awarded this year to:

• Calorimetric Nanosensor for Mercury Detection in Air
  M. Allers, S. Lehmann, T. Reinecke and S. Zimmermann
  Institute of Electrical Engineering and Measurement Technology, Leibniz Universität Hannover
• Versatile Fabrication of Voluminous Nanocrystal Superstructures
