E-­‐MRS 2014 Spring Meeting

 

 

The E-MRS Spring Meeting 2014 will be held for the first time in Lille (France) and will be the largest ever organized by E-MRS. 

The conference will include 30 parallel symposia, one plenary session, one exhibition and much more.

NANOPOWER Project ended. The reviewers comment is: excellent results!

(The NANOPOWER consortium. From left: Clivia Sotomayor Torres, Luca Gammaitoni, Markus Buttiker, Fabian Hartman, Bjorn Sothman, Jouni Ahopelto. Professor M. Buttiker, very sadly died on 4 October 2013).

 

 

The NANOPOWER project has completed the third year of activity and has reached the end of thefunded period.

It was initially conceived in order to address the powering issue in microscale electronic devices and we are glad to communicate that it has been fully developed according the initial plan. The scientific objective of this project was to study energy efficiency with the specific aim of identifying new directions for energy-harvesting technologies. With this aim, three different classes of prospective power generators have been considered in a coordinated effort by the six research groups composing the NANOPOWER consortium.

These are:
- nonlinear nanomechanical oscillators
- heat rectification devices
- quantum harvesters.

Micro-Energy Day 2013

On June 27 UNIPG (NiPS Laboratory) has celebrated the fourth Micro-Energy Day as part of the activities in the ZEROPOWER Coordination Action.

The initiative is presented in www.microenergyday.eu and is an initiative that takes place during the 2013 European Sustainable Energy Week. 
A Science Cafè has been organized in Perugia, where young researchers discussed with public their work on microenergies and future perspectives. Luca Gammaitoni moderated the talk.

NANOENERGY2013 - International Conference, Perugia July 10-13, 2013

International Conference July 10-13, 2013 – Perugia (IT)

The first International Conference on Nanoenergy will be held in Perugia , Italy during July 10-13 2013.

The aim of Nanoenergy2013 is to bring together researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the world and from different disciplines interested in the subject of micro and nanoscale energies.
Energy at small scales is a cross-disciplinary field that covers both theoretical and experimental aspects of fundamental and applied sciences ranging from nanotechnology to statistical physics, from computer science to biomedicine.
This conference, supported by the European Commission through the “Toward zero power” initiative, provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.
