This year an online award ceremony was peformed. 2019 Young Scientist Awards were announced The Young Scientist Awards given by Bilim Kahramanları Derneği was announced. The award aims to encourage the young scientists who have contributed to basic science and engineering at the national and international level. The award was organized by three universities every [...]
For years, researchers have searched for the working principles of self-assembly that can build a cell (complex biological organism) as well as a crystal (far simpler inorganic material) in the same way. Now, a team of scientists in Turkey has demonstrated the fundamental principles of a universal self-assembly process acting on a range of materials starting from a [...]
Bilkent University Faculty Member Asst. Prof. Dr. Şeker stated that they are carrying out projects to develop a protein to block the protein that allows the new type of coronavirus to attach to human cells. Bilkent University Faculty Member Asst. Prof. Dr. Urartu Şeker has stated that they are carrying out a project to develop [...]
Asst. Prof. Halil I. Okur of Billkent UNAM and the Department of Chemistry has been awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Individual Fellowship grant for two years. The MSCA program, an initiative of the European Commission, provides grants for all stages of researchers’ careers and encourages transnational, intersectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. This is the ninth [...]
“Professor Demir’s research team demonstrate record-high external quantum efficiency of 19.2% achieved in light-emitting diodes of colloidal quantum wells enabled by hot-injection shell growth”. Colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) have recently emerged as a new family of semiconductor nanocrystals with distinctive structural and electronic properties originating from their atomically flat structure. Thanks to the tight quantum [...]
