FTMC is the largest scientific research institution in Lithuania carrying out a unique fundamental research and technological development works in scientific fields of laser technologies, optoelectronics, nuclear physics, organic chemistry, bio and nanotechnologies, electrochemical material science, functional materials, electronics, etc. At the FTMC, not only innovative science but also high technologies expedient for business and society needs are developed.
"National Metrology Institute "
The National Metrology Institute possesses the nation’s highest level of expertise and capabilities in metrology across: Time and frequency, Temperature, Electrical quantities, Length, Mass, Chemical metrology, Ionizing radiation.
Laboratory for Reference Materials and Measurements (LRMM) provides reliable, traceable and accurate chemical measurements in different sectors of biotechnology, healthcare, safety and environment protection. It also provides regional metrological capacity for certification of reference materials according to the requirements of ISO 17034 standard.
Electrochemical Energy Storage Group (https://www.eesg.ftmc.lt)
In the Electrochemical Energy Storage Group, we carry out research and development of ion insertion batteries based on framework electrode materials and aqueous electrolyte solutions.
We are primarily focused on sustainable Na- and Zn-ion battery materials and systems. This includes materials synthesis and engineering and versatile characterization using different diffraction spectroscopies.

Linas Vilčiauskas received his B.Sc at Vilnius University and M.Sc. at University of Ulm. He obtained his Ph.D. from University of Stuttgart while working with K.-D. Kreuer at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research on the proton transport mechanisms in phosphorus oxoacids. After postdoctoral stays at New York University and University of Texas at Austin, he came back to Lithuania as an Associate Professor at the Institute of Chemistry of Vilnius University and Senior Researcher at the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC). He is currently a Principal Researcher and Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Technologies. His current interests mainly focus on the fundamental and applied aspects of electrochemical energy conversion.
Evaldas Naujalis received his B.Sc. degree from the Faculty of Chemistry at Vilnius University and later obtained his M.Sc. degree in chemistry. In 2001, he was awarded a Diploma from the 39th International Course for Advanced Researchers in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. He earned his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Vilnius University in 2003.
He is currently a Senior Researcher and Head of the Laboratory for Reference Materials and Measurements (LRMM) at the National Metrology Institute of the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC). In addition, he serves part-time as a Professor at the Institute of Chemistry, Vilnius University.
