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

An exciting photo exhibition of the artist/inventor Andrea Salvà was recently held in Trento. Researchers from the Center for Sensor & Devices had the opportunity to delve into the artist's artistic work and investigate the mechanisms of the "multispectral" photographic images through the use of an electron microscope.

Giorgio Speranza’s 25 years of experience in X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy has culminated in the writing and publication of the book “Data Driven Guide to the Analysis of X-ray Photoelectron Spectra using RxpsG” and RxpsG software.

On Saturday, December 16 Alberto Franzoi lost his life swept away by an avalanche during a ski mountaineering excursion. Colleagues and friends send their deepest condolences to Alberto's family and loved ones.

We are pleased to announce that on 7th November the Micro and Nano fabrication and characterisation (MNF) facility underwent the annual Rina certification audit. During the annual audit, two certifiers examined MNF's quality system with positive results, renewing the ISO 9001:2015 certification once again.

In October, the FBK’s Sensors & Devices Center (FBK-SD) attended the General Assembly (GA) for the Important Projects of Common European Interest on Microelectronics (IPCEI ME) and afterwards the kick-off meeting for the exciting new project, IPCEI ME and communication technologies (IPCEI ME/CT).

A few days ago, the 8th edition of the NanoInnovation conference came to an end. The conference witnessed the active participation of many researchers from the Sensors & Devices Center, whose valuable contributions enriched this event with workshops, lectures and much more.

The Bruno Kessler Foundation has launched the project named PIZ-Gamma in collaboration with the National Institute for Astrophysics, SAT, MeteoTrentino, and MUSE. This project offers an educational program for high school students focused on the capability to detect Gamma rays generated during thunderstorms.

The Center for Sensors & Devices of Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK) has recently acquired a tabletop scanning electron microscope. Thanks to this system, our researchers can expedite their research activities, carry out tele-microscopy experiments with external companies, and engage in scientific outreach activities outside of FBK.

Bruno Kessler Foundation researchers are part of an international group that is exploring how organic transistors can be used in future flexible electronics and sensing applications. Dr. Ali Nawaz, who works as a researcher at the Center for Sensors and Devices, recently collaborated with Prof. Prashant Sonar, Prof. Wei Lin Leong, and Prof. Carlos César Bof Bufon. Their study demonstrated the potential of organic transistors for bioelectronic applications and flexible electronics.

Springer Nature has announced the release of the book "Handbook of II-VI Semiconductor-Based Sensors and Radiation Detectors", a comprehensive overview of semiconductors in the II-VI group and their applications in radiation detection. The book features contributions from a variety of experts, including Andrea Gaiardo and Matteo Valt, members of the MNF unit at the SD Center of Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
