9th Mediterrean Conference on Nano-Photonics
The Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems (Cnr-Isasi) is hosting the 9th Mediterranean Conference on Nano-Photonics (MediNano-9) on 3-4 of September 2017, in Amalfi, Italy. Nano-photonics is one of the most appealing fields having large variety of academic as well industrial applications. MediNano is an international gathering inviting participants from research institutes and industries in countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea to present their most recent results as well as review of concepts in various topics related to nano-photonics
13th Ice2017 International conference on Engines & Vehicles
The aim of the conference is to create a forum to promote the cooperation between industry, research laboratories, and universities for the development of innovative propulsion systems for future vehicles. International conference on Engines & Vehicles Ice2017 will take place in Capri, Napoli (Italy) next September 10-14, 2017
The future of ram memories goes nano
An international research team, coordinated by Istituto officina dei materiali Trieste, and in collaboration with two Cnr institutes, Istituto per lo studio dei materiali nanostrutturati (Bologna) and Spin institute (Napoli) has been able to quantify at a nanometer level (nanometer, a distance corresponding to 1 billionth of a meter) the ‘critical thickness’ of some relevant spintronics material (spintornics=spin transport electronics)
Optical Remote Sensing
Irea is a scientific and technological research institute of CNR; it is affiliated to the Department of Engineering - ICT and Technology for Energy and Transport (DIITET). Irea has consolidated expertise in the fields of optical remote sensing. Optical Remote Sensing deals with those part of electromagnetic spectrum characterised by the wavelengths from the visible (0.4 micrometer) to the near infrared (NIR) up to thermal infrared (TIR, 15 micrometer), collecting radiation reflected and emitted from the observed surfaces
Processes and technologies for the valorization of wastes and biomasses
The Institute of Research on Combustion (Irc) carries out research in areas of strategic importance for the national level of innovation, with implications on several fields: energy, industry, safety, environment, new materials. Activities, carried out at both theoretical and experimental level, aim to the develop combustion processes with low environmental impact and to develop new technologies for thermo-valorization of wastes, biomass and alternative fuels
