Reading Tips

– Using advanced experimental technique and simulations, scientists reveal details of how crystal formation occurs, layer by layer, at the atomic level. Study contributes to the development of high quality materials (Nature Physics). Know more.

– Scientists were able to produce nanostructures of crystalline metals using nanomolds. In addition to overcoming experimental challenges and creating simple techniques, they explained the mechanisms involved in this nanomodeling (Physical Review Letters). Know more.

– Research led by Brazilian scientists contributes to the development of very stable ceramic photocatalysts needed to produce alternative fuels from CO2 and artificial photosynthesis. The study was highlighted by The American Ceramic Society (The Journal of Physical Chemistry C). Know more.

– Innovation. Partnership between Brazilian nanotechnology company and textile industries will soon bring to the market new functional fabrics that protect against heat, UV rays and insects, as well as prevent odors. Know more.

Opportunities

– Post-doctoral Fellowship in Physical Chemistry of Colloids. Know more.

– Mexican Materials Societies call for symposia proposals for the XXIX IMRC that will be held in August 2020 in Cancun (Mexico). Know more.
