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 […]
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 […]
Mustafa Fatih Genişel SESAME SESAME and Research Opportunities Synchrotron-Light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) is a “third-generation” synchrotron light source that was officially opened in Allan (Jordan) on 16 May 2017. It is the first synchrotron light source in the Middle East and neighbouring countries, and also the region’s first […]
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 […]
