Dr. Julián Gargiulo and Dr. Ianina moved to the Institute of Nanosystems at the National University of San Martín (Buenos Aires, Argentina) to start a new group on nanophotonics. To support them and help them start with maximum momentum, we have lend them a full setup of topical manipulation and spectroscopy of nanoparticles. [...]
Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar, director of the Nano-Optics division of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, visited us and gave a talk about his latest research. Prof. Sandoghdar is one of the most important pioneers of nano-optics. He has made breakthrough experiments of single molecule spectrocopy and single nanoparticle detection [...]
Prof. Stefani was invited by the Molecular Fluorescence Subgroup of the Biophysical Society to give a lecture on "Fluorescence nanoscopy with sub-10 nm resolution" at the Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society 2024, held in Philadelphia from the 10th to 14th of February. Many thanks to the orgenizers Dr. Hugo Sanabria and Prof. [...]
We made a one day trip to the countryside to have some asado and relax. Ana Wendel, Lucía Lopez, Ianina Violi, Gonzalo Escalante, Fernando Stefani, Luciana Martínez, Alan Szalai, Lars Richter (former member of our group visiting us from Germany)
Great fun at the yearly BBQ of CIBION :-)
Our group was part of CIBION's participation in the event Noche de la Ciencia (Night of Science) showing exciting optics experiments to the public, particularly to kids. A lot of fun indeed!
Prof. Stefani visited the very creative group of Prof. Giuseppe Vicidomini at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genoa to give a lecture and share the latest developments on pulsed-interleaved MINFLUX, RASTMIN and related methodologies. Thank you Giuseppe for the hospitality and great discussions. Also, many thanks to the great Alberto [...]
Fomer member of our group Dr. Luciano Masullo has recevied the Rising Stars of Light award in the "Before Faculty" track. The Rising Stars of Light is as a worldwide campaign initiated by Light: Science & Applications in 2018 to highlight the most shining young scientists in optics-related topics. Since 2021, Rising Stars of [...]
Congratulations to Prof. Stefan Maier, on being awarded the prestigious Leloir Prize 2023 in the the natural sciences category from Argentina’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. Prof. Maier is the head of the School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University, Australia, while he also holds the Lee-Lucas Chair in Experimental Physics and leads [...]
This year CIBION participated in the Nights of the Museums of the City of Buenos Aires together with the Intitute of Biomedicine of Buenos Aires (IBIOBA) and the Center for Simluations and Calculations (CSC). Our group made exciting demonstrations of optics and fluorescence to hundreds of people that visited our stands in the Science [...]
