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.

Join us for a three day course hosted by the Micro Nano Facility on the fundamentals of standard microfabrication technologies. This series of seminars is designed to provide a first introduction to the technologies available in the cleanrooms of the Center for Sensors and Devices.

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.

The recent partnership between researchers from the MNF research unit and the faculty of engineering at the University of Bozen has seen its excellent results recognised through the publication of a paper in the journal ACS Applied electronic materials.

Silicon Carbide is a material that is gradually gaining interest in the technological framework. The SD Center is organising a full-day workshop on this cutting-edge technology to gather information from experts for upcoming projects such as IPCEI ME/CNT and others.

The Trento-Innsbruck Quantum Information Tour, organised by AISF Trento, AISF and TAUT, will bring together 35 students to visit some of the most advanced research facilities in Trento and Innsbruck dedicated to Quantum Information and Quantum Science.

The EU-funded EPIQUS Project will design and create the world’s smallest and most practical quantum simulator improving the future of experimentation
