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

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.
