In the laboratories of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler, a research team with expertise in superconducting quantum circuits has produced the first qubit made in Italy.

Light, it’s no light matter! An integral part of our existence, from sunlight to precision lasers, to the distant lights of the stars and the moon, light is a power that deserves to be celebrated.

The European Commission has officially launched the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) under the Chips ACT to strengthen the European semiconductor ecosystem. The Italian pilot line, led by CNR Catania, will enable FBK to improve the facilities and technologies of its laboratories and provide advanced support to other research organisations and companies.

A team of researchers from the Center for Sensors and Devices and the University of Trento has created surfaces that delay ice formation by expelling water droplets before they freeze. This work opens up new horizons for applications in the field of aeronautics and thermodynamic systems.
