Talha Erdem Abdullah Gül University Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions have already been accepted as the straightforward way to limit the environmental effects of the global warming. Toward this aim, significant efforts have been put forward in the field of photonics as well. For example, solar energy became a significant source of energy and light-emitting […]

 Ayşe Aslıhan Gökaltun Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School Advancements in biomaterials and biopreservation technologies are critical to overcoming key bottlenecks in clinical care, from wound management to organ transplantation. To highlight the state-of-the-art in these fields and reflect on current challenges and opportunities, this talk will first present our development of stimuli-responsive supramolecular hydrogels […]

Willem L. Vos University of Twente The study of the propagation of light through complex composite materials – e.g., paint, foam, bio-logical tissue - is a topic that has become a field of its own . This may seem surprising: if a material is so opaque that it scrambles images, how can one see through? […]

Begüm Yarar Kaplan Sabancı University Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM), Turkey Padova University, Italy Electrospinning is a highly versatile and powerful technique for producing nanostructured materials, particularly suited to energy storage and conversion applications . It enables the fabrication of nanofibrous electrodes and membranes with exceptionally high surface area, uniformly distributed ionically conductive phases, […]
