\nFeatured paper with Brazilian participation<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

A team of researchers from Brazilian universities<\/strong> (Federal University of Uberl\u00e2ndia and University of Bras\u00edlia) have developed a new method to synthesize quantum dots<\/strong>. In addition to be cheap, reproducible and efficient to produce the minuscule semiconductor crystals, the method comes with a bonus: the modulation of the thickness<\/strong> of the quantum dots’ shells<\/strong>. Promising for biotechnological applications<\/strong>, the results of the paper were published on ACS Nano.\u00a0Read the story.<\/a><\/p>\n

We talked with researcher Fernando Zawislak<\/strong>, the introducer of the field of ion implantation<\/strong> in Brazil. More than 30 years ago, Zawislak founded the Ion Implantation Laboratory at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) – still the largest in Latin America, to this day – which approaches numerous fields of knowledge by means of the creation of nanostructures<\/strong> and the analysis of materials with ion beams<\/strong>. The scientist also was one the founders of the Graduate Studies Program in Materials Sciences in UFRGS<\/strong>. In our interview, the Emeritus Professor talked about such contributions and what led him to achieve them. He also left a message to younger researchers, advising them to choose a field they like<\/strong>, an advisor<\/strong> in a modern research field<\/strong>, and to have an entrepreneurial spirit <\/strong>and an open mind to multidisciplinarity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
