A team of researchers from the Center for Sensors and Devices and the University of Trento has created surfaces that delay ice formation by expelling water droplets before they freeze. This work opens up new horizons for applications in the field of aeronautics and thermodynamic systems.

The recent partnership between researchers from the MNF research unit and the faculty of engineering at the University of Bozen has seen its excellent results recognised through the publication of a paper in the journal ACS Applied electronic materials.

Silicon Carbide is a material that is gradually gaining interest in the technological framework. The SD Center is organising a full-day workshop on this cutting-edge technology to gather information from experts for upcoming projects such as IPCEI ME/CNT and others.

The Trento-Innsbruck Quantum Information Tour, organised by AISF Trento, AISF and TAUT, will bring together 35 students to visit some of the most advanced research facilities in Trento and Innsbruck dedicated to Quantum Information and Quantum Science.

The EU-funded EPIQUS Project will design and create the world’s smallest and most practical quantum simulator improving the future of experimentation

An exciting photo exhibition of the artist/inventor Andrea Salvà was recently held in Trento. Researchers from the Center for Sensor & Devices had the opportunity to delve into the artist's artistic work and investigate the mechanisms of the "multispectral" photographic images through the use of an electron microscope.

Giorgio Speranza’s 25 years of experience in X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy has culminated in the writing and publication of the book “Data Driven Guide to the Analysis of X-ray Photoelectron Spectra using RxpsG” and RxpsG software.

On Saturday, December 16 Alberto Franzoi lost his life swept away by an avalanche during a ski mountaineering excursion. Colleagues and friends send their deepest condolences to Alberto's family and loved ones.

We are pleased to announce that on 7th November the Micro and Nano fabrication and characterisation (MNF) facility underwent the annual Rina certification audit. During the annual audit, two certifiers examined MNF's quality system with positive results, renewing the ISO 9001:2015 certification once again.

In October, the FBK’s Sensors & Devices Center (FBK-SD) attended the General Assembly (GA) for the Important Projects of Common European Interest on Microelectronics (IPCEI ME) and afterwards the kick-off meeting for the exciting new project, IPCEI ME and communication technologies (IPCEI ME/CT).

A few days ago, the 8th edition of the NanoInnovation conference came to an end. The conference witnessed the active participation of many researchers from the Sensors & Devices Center, whose valuable contributions enriched this event with workshops, lectures and much more.

The Bruno Kessler Foundation has launched the project named PIZ-Gamma in collaboration with the National Institute for Astrophysics, SAT, MeteoTrentino, and MUSE. This project offers an educational program for high school students focused on the capability to detect Gamma rays generated during thunderstorms.
