Η Ιστορία των Επιστημών στην Επικοινωνία της Επιστήμης

Lecturer: Dr. Emmanouil Kartsonakis

Παρασκευή 04 Απριλίου 2025 at 14:00

H Επικοινωνία της Επιστήμης στοχεύει να αναδείξει τις διαδρομές μέσα από τις οποίες συγκροτούνται οι επιστήμες και η τεχνολογία. Να προσ [...]

Advanced Functional Materials as Conductometric Gas Sensors

Lecturer: Emmanouil Gagaoudakis

Παρασκευή 24 Ιανουαρίου 2025 at 14:00

Gas sensors are of great importance in a wide variety of sectors, such as medical, food safety/smart packaging, energy (flammable/explosive gases) as well as environment (monitoring of air quality). Thus, nitric oxide (NO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydr [...]

Optical Spectroscopy and Twistronics: Engineering Novel States in Atomically Thin Materials

Lecturer: Ioannis Paradeisanos

Παρασκευή 20 Δεκεμβρίου 2024 at 14:00

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene and monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), exhibit exceptional light-matter interactions due to their reduced dimensionality and unique crystal symmetries. While only a few dozen layere [...]

Serendipity versus determinism – ‘Curiosity-driven’ research closing an eye to applications: the case of nanomaterials

Lecturer: Stefanos Mourdikoudis

Παρασκευή 13 Δεκεμβρίου 2024 at 14:00

Στην ομιλία αυτή, ο κ. Μουρδικούδης θα παρουσιάσει αρχικά ένα μέρος του ερευνητικού έργου που έχει επιτελέσει ως τώρα. Αυτό σχετίζεται κυ [...]

Multiscale Crystal Lattice Chemistry for Unusual Bulk Inorganic Solids

Lecturer: In Chung

Δευτέρα 21 Οκτωβρίου 2024 at 16:30

Inorganic solids inevitably involve a certain level of either intrinsic or extrinsic crystal imperfections, which are embedded in the bulk crystal matrix. They can be atomic-level point defects generated by incorporating vacancies and atoms for dopin [...]

Stability and Electrical Performance Improvement of Transparent p-Type CuI for Large Area Electronics

Lecturer: Myung-Gil Kim

Δευτέρα 21 Οκτωβρίου 2024 at 16:00

The transparent electronic materials have been essential electronic components in large area electronics, such as display, thin-film solar cell, and wearable electronics. Especially the a-IGZO and ITO have been successfully implemented as thin-film t [...]

Memory of Soft Particle Glasses

Lecturer: Michel Cloitre

Παρασκευή 28 Ιουνίου 2024 at 14:00

Disordered materials such as glasses, gels, granular materials remember their mechanical history: they trap residual stresses, store directional memories, and age. A lot of efforts have been devoted to encode information in glasses, but the preparati [...]

From order to chaos: Case studies of cellulose and lignin materials Cancelled

Lecturer: Alexandros Efraim Alexakis

Παρασκευή 17 Μαΐου 2024 at 14:00

Wood is a natural bio-composite that is composed of primarily cellulose (~40%), hemicellulose (~30%) and lignin (~30%). The former is a partially crystalline polysaccharide composed of glucose units which reinforce the matrix made of hemicellulose an [...]

Superabsorbent biopolymer matrices from agro-polymers: Rheology, processing, and applications

Lecturer: Antonio Guerrero

Παρασκευή 19 Απριλίου 2024 at 14:00

Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) based on acrylic derivatives exhibit remarkable properties, as they can absorb an impressive amount of water (i.e. from 10 to 1000 times their weight, in g/g). Unfortunately, these polymers are challenged by a poor biode [...]

Biomolecule detection through openings in materials

Lecturer: Maria Fyta

Πέμπτη 04 Απριλίου 2024 at 15:00

Nanometer-sized openings, known as nanopores, in materials can electrophoretically drive biopolymers, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins through. The passage, known as translocation, of these biomolecules gives rise to distinct current signals that can b [...]
