The poster pitches at #NWOCHAINS were an absolute firework of great science. We learned about #antivirals, #organocatalysis, #MolecularMotors, #EnzymeEngineering, #photocontrol, #odor detection, sensing of #bacteria, #recycling, #batteries, #QuantumDots, #vitrimers, #BoneRegeneration, native #MassSpectrometry and #biomaterials. Always one of my highlights of the conference.
🔎What are #perovskites and #quantumdots?
Prof. #Photophysics and #Optoelectronics Maria Antonietta Loi uses these minerals and 'super atoms' to create new materials for #solarcells and LED lights - materials that turn light into electricity, or vice versa.💡

Quantum Dots kennt man ja in Display-Techniken. Aber Quantum Rods? Das sind Quantenstäbchen. Am Fraunhofer IAP-CAN wird daran intensiv geforscht. Einfacher wird das Thema rund um echte und falsche QLEDs dadurch sicher nicht. Als Plus gibt es aber bessere Energieeffizienz durch die angeordneten Stäbchen.
Statt Kügelchen sollen in Zukunft kleine angeordnete Stäbe für ein besseres Bild sorgen. Der Vorteil: Die Energieeffizienz steigt noch einmal. In Göttingen wurden auf der SID-MEC Conference die Vorteile der Technik samt Stand präsentiert.
Designing light: how optical filters shape SWIR imaging
Optical filters are the silent heroes of imaging systems. In SWIR applications, they determine what wavelengths are captured, how precise the data is, and how well sensors perform in real-world conditions.
👉 And yes — we’ll dive into this topic at the HortiQD Industry Workshop!
