INL Researcher awarded with IAAM Scientist Medal

Oleksandr Bondarchuk, INL Facility Manager (PhD) at the Department of Advanced Electron Microscopy, Imaging and Spectroscopy (AEMIS), received the International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM) Scientist Medal, at its 20th Award Ceremony of the European Advanced Materials Congress, recently held in Stockholm, Sweden. The distinction was given to Oleksandr Bondarchuk for his research on “Materials for Electrical Energy Storage: ionic liquid thin films on HOPG and VN surfaces”. The jury considered this work relevant due to the increasing global demand for better alternatives to fossil fuels, leading to research on more effective, affordable and environmentally friendly energy storage technologies, which are one of the main lines of research at INL, proving that nanotechnology plays a relevant role in offering better and more efficient solutions for today’s energy needs while preserving the planet for future generations.

INL research gets Best Poster Award in USA

INL research gets Best Poster Award in USA

At the World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC-7) held last month from June 10-15 in Waikoloa, Hawaii, USA, Sascha Sadewasser, INL Principal Investigator of the Laboratory for Nanostructured Solar Cells, presented the most recent results of a collaborative work between his group and the group of Prof. Philip Dale from the University of Luxembourg. The poster presentation with the title “Area-selective electrodeposition of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 micro-islands for micro-concentrator solar cells” was awarded a Best Poster Award by the organizers. The work shows a proof-of-concept demonstration of a photovoltaic technology which is capable of reaching higher power conversion efficiencies with lower materials consumption of the Cu(In,Ga)Se2 absorber layer.

FODIAC Kick-Off Meeting April 13

FODIAC Kick-Off Meeting April 13

FODIAC – Food for Diabetes and Cognition, a scientific research project funded by the European Union, kicked-off at INL last April 13 with the presence of all the entities that form the consortium. In the next four years, several organisations from Portugal, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom and Sweden will develop an integrative dietary solution to tackle type 2 diabetes and mitigate the cognitive dysfunction among the elderly population. Funded by European Funds under the Marie Curie Actions, the project comprises a total of 15 academic and business partners: – INL; – University of Minho; – Universidade Católica Portuguesa; – Universitá Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Milan, Italy); – University of Reading (Reading, UK); – Lunds Universitet (Lund, Sweden); – CSIC – Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spain); – SONAE, Anfaco, A&R House, Bioinicia, Casa Emma, Decorgel, DomusVi and Evra). Lorenzo Pastrana, Head Department of Life Sciences at INL, describes the project as “a program that aims to help improve the quality of life of people over 60 years of age, who are often affected by various diseases, diabetes and cognitive dysfunctions among the most prevalent.“
