LNN2015 – Light in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 2015
The conference on Light in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 2015 [LNN'2015] will take place in Hissar, Bulgaria, from 19-22 October 2015. LNN’2015 is dedicated to the International Year of Light 2015.
Nanometres in 3D
Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute and ETH Zurich (Switzerland) have created 3D images of tiny objects showing details down to 25 nanometres (1 nanometre = 1 millionth of a millimetre). In addition to the shape, the scientists determined how particular chemical elements were distributed in their sample and whether these elements were in a chemical compound or in their pure state.
Channeling 2014
The 6th International Conference “Charged and Neutral Particles Channeling Phenomena” [Channeling 2014] will be held in Capri, Italy, from 5-10 October 2014.
Channeling 2014 is the opportunity for a wide interdisciplinary community to gain information about present and future research projects in the field of relativistic/non-relativistic beams and various radiations interaction in solids as well as radiation flux propagation in micro- and nanochannel structures. In particular, this conference series has proven its importance both for experts and for young scientists with an interest in…
Nine scientific pioneers receive the 2014 Kavli Prizes
Nine pioneering scientists have been named this year’s recipients of the Kavli Prizes – prizes that recognize scientists for their seminal advances in astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience.
The 2014 Kavli Prize in Astrophysics is shared between Alan H. Guth, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, Andrei D. Linde, Stanford University, USA, and Alexei A. Starobinsky, Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia. They receive the prize “for pioneering the theory of cosmic inflation”. The theory of…
