The SD center has secured €50 million from the IPCEI ME/CT project to develop advanced microelectromechanical systems. With a total investment of €82 million, FBK will expand its Clean Room facilities and continue pioneering 3D integration technology for applications in autonomous vehicles, quantum tech, space, and medical diagnostics. The initiative supports Europe’s technological autonomy under the Chips Act.

The MNF and MTSD research units have published the paper "Integration of Germanium-Vacancy Single Photon Emitters Arrays in Diamond Nanopillars" in EPJ Quantum Technology, marking significant progress in diamond-based technology.

The "Summer Kids 2024" program, organized by Fondazione Bruno Kessler with Kaleidoscopio, allowed children of FBK and HIT staff to explore diverse scientific topics over two weeks. Guided by researchers Elena Missale and Elia Scattolo, the children examined nature through optical and electron microscopes, discovering unseen details of familiar objects.

Two young researchers from the SD Centre, Andrea Gaiardo and Nicolò di Novo, were awarded the ‘"Premio Trentino per la Ricerca - Giovani ricercatrici e ricercatori 2024" for their work on air pollution monitoring technologies and energy sustainability solutions.
