FBK advances quantum technology research with the installation of a novel instrument in the Sensors & Devices Center's spectroscopy labs which will be essential for enhancing our comprehension of the quantum characteristics of color centers in semiconductors.

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.

Closing event of the IPCEI ME - The Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK) has played a pivotal role in advancing micro-nanoelectronic technologies, bridging research excellence with industrial innovation. From the Open Facility model to large-scale initiatives like IPCEI and the European Chips Act, FBK has fostered collaboration and technological progress in the semiconductor sector. The closing event of the IPCEI ME@FBK project marks a key milestone, celebrating achievements and paving the way for future developments in European microelectronics.

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.

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.

An opportunity for international material scientists, chemists and physicists to discuss the state of the art and share perspectives on photonic materials based on rare earth ions.
