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, […]
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 […]
Q-Han Park Korea University Waves, both classical and quantum, are reflected when they encounter different media or potential regions. Reflection is a fundamental property of waves underlying numerous scientific applications. Nevertheless, in many cases removing reflection is a key issue to secure transmission and increase device efficiencies. Since the early works of Brewster and Rayleigh, […]
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 […]
In honor of the World Quantum Day, Bilkent University’s National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) will be holding an event on Saturday, April 15 in partnership with QTurkey. The World Quantum Day has been celebrated since April 14, 2021, with the aims of creating social awareness about quantum technologies and increasing the interest and knowledge levels […]
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 […]
Mikhail Artemyev Belarusian State University Effect of surface charged groups on colloidal, optical properties and cellular uptake of inorganic nanoparticles Surface charged groups play enormous role in colloidal stabilization of inorganic nanoparticles in aqueous solutions. They also govern such important characteristics, as electrophoretic mobility, ability to electrostatic interaction with different objects from solid surfaces 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, […]
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 […]
