Our director Mauro Nisoli along with Fernando Martín (IMDEA and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) and Nazario Martín (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) have been awarded an ERC Synergy Grant, offering almost 12 million Euro of funding over 6 years. Of these, our laboratories will be allocated Read More …
We are happy to announce the “Ultrafast Optical Phenomena Online Workshop” organized by the OSA technical group. The workshop will take place from 25 to 29 May 2020 and it is targeted – but not limited – to students and early-career researchers. The programme includes: Read More …
Dr. Matteo Lucchini has been awarded an ERC starting grant for the project “Attosecond dynamics in advanced materials “(AuDACE). The scope of AuDACE is to investigate the processing occuring in very short timescales (from tens of attoseconds to few femtoseconds) in a novel class of Read More …
The Optical Society (OSA) has announced the new Chair-Elects for ten OSA Technical Groups. The announced individuals will serve as Chair-Elects through December 2019 and will then serve as Chair for a three-year term, beginning in 2020. Elected by fellow members, the Chairs will be Read More …
The 2019 Fresnel Prize for applied aspects is awarded to Matteo Lucchini, Politecnico di Milano, Italy, for “outstanding contributions in the field of attosecond science. In particular for seminal contribution in the investigation of attosecond electron dynamics in solid state materials”. Congratulations Matteo!
The Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) has awarded two projects of national interest (PRIN) to our group: 1 – Project n. 20173B72NB “Predicting and controlling the fate of bio-molecules driven by extreme-ultraviolet radiation”, where Prof. Nisoli is the principal investigator. 2 – Project Read More …
The German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry recently awarded Fabian Holzmeier the Ewald Wicke Prize 2019, a renowned honor for early career physical chemists. Since September 2018 he is working in our lab as a Marie-Curie fellow on attosecond dynamics in molecules. Congratulations Fabian!
Ultrafast charge dynamics in the amino acid phenylalanine excited by an attosecond pulse: the snapshots reveal a notable variation of the charge density with a period of a few femtoseconds. The measurement of this ultrafast electron dynamics is a crucial benchmark for the extension of Read More …
