We are very happy to welcome the new group members (from left to right): Germán Chiarelli, PhD candidate, will investigate novel combinations of technologies to obtain fluorescence nanoscopy with sub-10 nm resolution in the three dimensions. Dr. Alan Szalai will focus on deciphering details of neuronal polarity using fluorescence nanoscopy imaging, in collaboration with the [...]
In the last volume of the Neuromethods series we published a chapter reviewing the use of colloidal gold nanoparticles as nucleation centers for amyloid fibrillation. “Gold Nanoparticles as Nucleation Centers for Amyloid Fibrillation” Yanina D. Álvarez, Jesica V. Pellegrotti, Fernando D. Stefani. Neuromethods 135 (2018) 269-291. Humana Press, New York.
German Chiarelli obtained his degree in Physics at the University of Buenos Aires with his work on "Optical printing of colloidal nanoparticles in a microfluidic cell" Congratulations Germán!!
Dr. Ianina Violi has been elected to join the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) as Assistant Researcher, directed by Dr. Galo Soler Illia and co-directed by Prof. Fernando D. Stefani. On a very competitive contest, Ianina was one of the 17 new researchers selected to join CONICET in Chemistry. In her new role, [...]
Every year, Physics World, the world's leading physics magazine published by the Institute of Physics, selects the 10 major contributions made for the advancement of Physics. We are proud and happy to see that MINFLUX has been included in this short list: 2017 top-ten achievements in Physics according to the Institute of Physics MINFLUX [...]
After the success of the first meeting, CIBION hosted the 2nd Metting of Young Researchers in Optics and Photophysics sponsored by the Optical Society of America through its Student Chapter. Again, it was a great success. Congratulations to the local organizers and all participants. We look forward to the next meeting!
Fluorescence nanoscopy is enabling the visualization and discovery of periodic protein structures in their natural environment. Remarkable examples are the nuclear pore complex or the membrane-associated periodic cytoskeleton of neurons (MPS). The MPS of neurons can be visualized by fluorescence nanoscopy (e.g. STED) but is invisible using conventional microscopy (e.g. confocal) The next step [...]
Es importante que los miembros de la comunidad científica y sus socios industriales conozcan la evolución de la inversión pública en el sistema científico-tecnológico. El proyecto de ley de presupuesto enviado por el Poder Ejecutivo Nacional (PEN) plantea una nueva reducción de la inversión pública en ciencia y técnica. Para 2018 se propone una reducción [...]
On friday 20th of October, friends and colleagues of Prof. Dr. Niek van Hulst came together from around the globe, to celebrate his 60th birthday discussing some of Niek´s favorite topics in Nanophotonics: Manipulation and control of molecular beams Precision spectroscopy of molecular hydrogen and the search for new physics Light twists at the nanoscale [...]
Our close collaborator Dr. Guillermo Acuna from the Technical University of Braunschweig (Germany) was in Buenos Aires, from September 5th to October 7th, as visiting professor of the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires. Dr. Guillermo Acuna giving a lecture at the Physics Department of FCEN-UBA During his stay, [...]
