💡 𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 Series Did you know that elite athletes like Jannick Sinner and Linda Noskova use equipment with nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes or #graphene? This results in lighter, stronger and more impact-resistant rackets. #SportsTech
👀 Join Gabi at #Graphene2026, where he presents his poster on how combining #graphene with the ferroelectric material CIPS can open up new opportunities, such as tuning the electrical properties and spin dynamics of this one-atom-thick 2D material.
📰 BIG NEWS! Microscopy Europe is on the ESFRI Roadmap 2026, marking it as a key research infrastructure. As partners with Prof. @jarbiol.bsky.social leading JEMCA's scientific strategy, the Electron Microscopy Centre in ALBA Synchrotron, we celebrate it. 🔍 https://f.mtr.cool/rbrigkhcos
🏠 #ICN2 Visits Students from the Technology Leaders of the Future Camp recently visited us. The Ultrafast Dynamics in Nanoscale Systems Group showed them around their lab, where they could see some of the equipment up close and learn more about their research. Thank you for coming!
Our admin teams came together away from their offices to keep building a more connected community. The day wrapped up with Fundació Pere Tarrés and Precious Plastic leading a dynamic, creative activity to build trains from recycled plastic, which will be donated for after-school programs.
