Connecting Atomic-scale Impurities to Larger Morphologies

Nadire Nayir Karamanoglu Mehmetbey University/The Pennsylvania State University (Half) van der Waals epitaxy of single-crystal two-dimensional (2D) materials (e.g., TMD, h-BN, graphene, group III materials) on substrates are quite challenging and time and source expensive. Therefore, theoretically characterization of materials is essential to deepen our understanding of the physical and chemical properties of materials, thus, […]

Next Generation Biomonitoring: Implementing Machine Learning for Accurate Metabarcoding with Nanopore MinION

Bilgenur Baloğlu University of Southern California Metabarcoding (identification of the plant, animal, and fungal taxa present in an environmental sample) rapidly gains importance in ecology, food safety, pest identification, and disease surveillance. NGS metabarcoding has a compelling advantage over traditional approaches for obtaining data on species distributions, however, it is often difficult to detect all […]

Quantum Material Integrated Optoelectronics for Disruptive Technologies

Emre Ozan Polat Kadir Has University Quantum Material Integrated Optoelectronics for Disruptive Technologies Despite the significant progress on the wafer-based optoelectronics, providing a broad optical response with a mechanically robust and optically seamless device structure remains as an outstanding challenge. This challenge mainly hinders the realization of disruptive technologies such as hyperspectral imaging and skin-integration […]

Basic sciences: The mission of homo sapiens in the universe

Sergey V. Gaponenko National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Basic sciences: The mission of homo sapiens in the universe In spite of high recognition of basic sciences by academic community there is still a need to identify the decisive role of basic sciences in many facets of human life including not only its role in […]

Polymeric Membranes – in gas- and liquid-phase separation

Volkan Filiz Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon   Polymeric Membranes - in gas- and liquid-phase separations The main research focus at the Institute of Membrane Research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon is the development of membranes for liquid and gas phase separation. Water shortages, climate change and energy transition: separation of substances plays a vital role in these challenges. […]
