Students Awards.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0Contributions submitted by authors who are undergraduate or graduate students can apply for the students awards (the Bernhard Gross Award from B-MRS and other awards from partner entities). To participate in the selection, the author must submit an extended abstract in addition to the conventional abstract. The deadline is August 14. Additional information in the instructions for authors,\u00a0<\/span>
\nhere<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Plenary lectures.<\/b> Seven internationally renowned scientists will speak about cutting edge research\u00a0on subjects such as materials for biomedical and environmental applications; biomimetic surfaces;
\nheterogeneous catalysis; materials and technologies for miniaturized electronic circuits; piezoelectric films and their energy, optics and electronics applications. Learn more by clicking on the speakers’
\nphotos, here<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Memorial lecture. <\/b>At the opening of the event, SBPMat will pay homage to Professor Jo\u00e3o Alziro H. da Jornada, from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), who will deliver the
\ntraditional Memorial Lecture \u201cJoaquim da Costa Ribeiro\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Venue.<\/b> The FAURGS event center is in the center of Gramado, within walking distance of\u00a0restaurants, shops, tourist attraction spots and hotels.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

City of the event.<\/b> Gramado is a charming tourist town, with a wide and qualified chain of hotels, gastronomic restaurants and shops. This attractive city is also the starting point for a series of
\nsightseeing highlights that explores the area’s natural florid beauty, its\u00a0history marked by German and Italian immigration, and the theme parks around the city.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mini-interviews with the plenary speakers\u00a0of the event. <\/b>Professor Hans-Joachim Freund, known as Hajo Freund, is a German scientist who heads, since 1996, a prestigious research institute in Berlin\u00a0dedicated to the study of surfaces and interfaces. There, he also heads a group of more than 40 people devoted to understanding heterogeneous catalysis through the study of model catalysts. In Gramado, this scientist, who has a 97 h-index, will share with the audience his knowledge on heterogeneous catalysis, a theme of broad academic and industrial impact.

A team of scientists was able to produce a hybrid material made of graphene oxide nanosheets and iron oxide nanoparticles with a special\u00a03-dimensional morphology. The work was carried out at the Center for Semiconductor Components at UNICAMP\u00a0and at an Indian university. When the material performance in electricity storage was tested, the hybrid proved to be promising as a flexible micro-supercapacitor for wearable electronics. The research was reported in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.\u00a0See our news story.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

We interviewed the new director of the Brazilian Nanotechnology National Lab (LNNano), Adalberto Fazzio, former president of SBF, former pro tempore president of the Federal University of ABC and former coordinator of micro and nanotechnologies of the Brazilian Ministry of Science, among other management positions. Fazzio was a Professor at the Physics Institute of USP from 1979 until his retirement in 2015, and made significant contributions to the understanding of various materials (from semiconductors to topological insulators) using computational methods.\u00a0In the 1980s and 1990s, Fazzio pioneered the use of ab initio calculations in Brazil and is currently exploring the use of machine learning techniques to study materials properties. In the interview, Prof.\u00a0Fazzio spoke about his professional trajectory and the perspectives in nano research in light of today`s Brazilian\u00a0budget situation. He also left a message for the readers who are starting their scientific careers. See the interview.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
