Mini courses.<\/b> On Sunday, September 10, those enrolled in the event will be able to attend, at no extra cost, the mini courses on scientific writing and publication, taught by Prof. Valtencir Zucolotto and by professionals of the Elsevier publishing house. More information and reservation, coming soon.<\/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; heterogeneous catalysis; materials and technologies for miniaturized electronic circuits; piezoelectric films and their energy, optics and electronics applications. Learn more by clicking on the speakers’ photos, 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 traditional Memorial Lecture \u201cJoaquim da Costa Ribeiro\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A team of researchers from the Nanotechnology Brazilian National Lab\u00a0has developed a paper-based electrochemical sensor having, as a conductive material,\u00a0graphite film, obtained through the simple technique of painting the paper with an ordinary pencil. After making some adjustments to the manufacturing process of the sensor, the scientific team achieved exceptional performance of the device in detecting a biological compound present in all living cells, but particularly difficult to detect. The research was recently reported in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. See our news story.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Our interviewee is Jo\u00e3o Alziro Herz da Jornada, who will be honored by SBPMat through the Joaquim da Costa Ribeiro Memorial Lecture during the society’s 16th annual event. Jornada was a professor at the Physics Institute of UFRGS for more than four decades, until his retirement in 2016. He also held various management positions in science and technology institutions, such as the presidency of the Brazilian National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology, where he worked for 11 years. A pioneer in Brazil in the study of the effects of high pressures on materials, Jornada also made important contributions\u00a0on superhard materials. He is the author of papers published in journals of high impact factor, notably Science and Nature. In the interview, the researcher recalled how his fascination with science emerged, describing his main contributions to the field\u00a0of materials. He also\u00a0presented us with an inspirational message for the young readers, in which he spoke about the various dimensions that make scientific activity a rich and stimulating human experience. Jornada also told us what he will address in his\u00a0memorial lecture\u00a0in September in Gramado: the complex mechanisms that generate economic and social impact from basic research \u2013 a very relevant topic in the current setting of research funding cuts in Brazil.
