Ahmet Avsar The National University of Singapore Exploitation of the intrinsic spin of an electron, spintronics, could facilitate the development of multifunctional and novel devices. As regards to material selection, two-dimensional (2D) crystals and their van der Waals heterostructures could enable new spintronics functionalities that are inaccessible in conventional bulk materials . To exploit the […]
Alexey Berdyugin The National University of Singapore The most recognizable feature of graphene’s electronic spectrum is its Dirac point around which interesting phenomena tend to cluster. At elevated temperatures thermal excitations can overcome the disorder and create an electron-hole (e-h) plasma of Dirac fermions. The Dirac plasma has recently been found to exhibit unusual properties […]
Amin Sadeghpour Dilmaghani University of Leeds The properties and function of advanced materials in biomimetic environments are associated with their morphology, hierarchy, anisotropy and mechanical properties. For instance, the structural morphology of biopolymer networks in cellular scaffolds is known to play important roles in cellular adhesion and proliferation, controlling the tissue homeostasis. The ability to […]
Yoshiaki Kanamori Tohoku University Micro/nano processing technology is one of the important elements for achieving the academic progress and industrialization of metamaterials. There are strong expectations for the establishment of micro/nano fabrication technology to produce metamaterials that meet needs. Here, the metamaterials developed in my research group and their microfabrication technologies are discussed. (i) Hydrogen […]
Michael E. Flatté The University of Iowa Recent advances in quantum technologies, including room-temperature quantum operations on quantum bits (“qubits”), suggest the field is rapidly progressing towards practical quantum sensors and computers. However a major challenge remains how to connect these qubits together. Some types of qubits are very small, making it very difficult to […]
Arthur Goetschy ESPCI Paris Molding the flow of waves in complex media: imaging, trapping, and shaping The study of waves in complex systems has evolved profoundly over the last decade, with the demonstration of rich and useful effects that cannot be explained by the traditional diffusion model of wave propagation. In photonic systems in particular, […]
Irina Mitina Technical University of Moldova Molecular technologies in wine production Viticulture and winemaking in Moldova have a history of many centuries and are an inseparable part of life and culture of Moldovan people. The country is located between latitude 46-47˚, similar to other renowned wine regions in Europe, and has a climate favorable for […]
Nathalie Destouches University Jean Monnet, Saint Etienne Security printing with laser-induced plasmonic colors Plasmonic colors have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their anticipated profound impact on various industrial sectors. These colors, stemming from the resonant interaction between light and metallic nanostructures, offer stability over time and can be fabricated as thin films. […]
Philip Biggin Biochemistry - University of Oxford Multiscale Simulation Approaches to Understanding the Control of Trafficking in Cells Trafficking receptors control protein localisation through the recognition of specific signal sequences that specify unique cellular locations. Differences in luminal or organellular pH are important for the vectorial trafficking of cargo receptors. The KDEL receptor is responsible […]
Erdinç Tatar Bilkent University - Electrical and Electronics Engineering, UNAM The path to no-drift sensors with on-chip stress calibration Navigation is vital for the future of autonomous mobility. Data from multiple sensing modalities (GPS, camera, radar, …) are fused in navigation. Among these sensors, inertial navigation is error-proof and can fit into every car and […]
Stefan Rotter TU Wien - Vienna University of Technology Coherent perfect absorption and transmission of light In my talk I will present two recent works focused on the perfect absorption and transmission of waves through interferometric cancellation of backscattering. In the first case , we demonstrate that even a weakly absorbing film can be turned […]
Víctor de Lorenzo The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) Design meets evolution: Theory and practice The prevailing view of biological evolution is not unlike bricolage/pastiche/tinkering—in sharp contrast with rational engineering. Yet, different paths often lead to solutions that coincide or converge whether they emerge from naturally-occurring evolution or rationally designed. Such a conjunction—often presented as […]
