In an article highlighted by Nano Letters on the cover of its 25th anniversary issue, a team from UFSCar and CNPEM introduced the concept of Mem-Emitter. The term refers to an optical memory based on the synergy between two properties of some materials: the ability to \u201cremember\u201d past activities and the ability to emit light. In this pioneering article, the authors demonstrate the operation of a Mem-Emitter formed by ultrathin heterostructures based on transition metal dichalcogenides. The technology could enable innovative applications in neuromorphic computing, photonic networks, adaptive sensors and optical communication.

A gas sensor that solves a problem of power grid transformers was developed by a team from CTI Renato Archer, Unicamp, Unesp and the energy company CPFL. Through nanoengineering work, the researchers created a filter to remove contaminants in the sensor, which allowed them to measure the presence of hydrogen gas in mineral oil, in real time and with extremely high sensitivity. The device enables early detection of serious failures in transformers. The work opens up possibilities for developing sensors immersed in oil for industrial processes and critical systems.

A new glow-in-the-dark liquid has been featured on the front cover of Chemistry \u2013 A European Journal. It is an organic material with low toxicity and flammability that can be used in OLEDs and other organic electronic devices as a light emitter. This is the first example in the scientific literature of a liquid that exhibits delayed fluorescence in blue and phosphorescence at room temperature in orange. The study was conducted by scientists from UFSC, USP and institutions in France and the United Kingdom. Go to the paper.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Prof. Elson Longo da Silva, founding member and former president of B-MRS, is ranked first in Brazil in the field of Chemistry according to his scientific productivity and impact. Prepared by the international platform Research.com, this ranking is based on the D index, which considers the number of publications and citations of a researcher in a given discipline. With 1,333 publications and 51,451 citations collected in November of last year, Longo has a D index of 122. Elson Longo is Professor Emeritus at UFSCar, director of the Center for Development of Functional Materials and Professor Honoris Causa at UFPB. His long scientific career is marked by very high productivity and by training of human resources impacting academia and industry.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Prof. Monica Alonso Cotta, member, former scientific director and former president of B-MRS, was approved as the Provost of Undergraduate Studies at Unicamp for the period 2025 – 2029. A tireless advocate for women’s participation in science, Monica was the first woman to hold the presidency of B-MRS and the directorship of the Gleb Wataghin Institute of Physics (IFGW) at Unicamp. Now, she joins the group of five provosts of her university, four of whom are women. Cotta has a distinguished role as a scientific manager at national and international levels. She is currently the coordinator of the Physics and Astronomy Advisory Committee of CNPq, executive editor of the journal ACS Applied Nano Materials, member of the International Scientific Advisory Board of the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (Canada) and honorary advisor of the international VinFuture Prize (Vietnam).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
