Siming Yu, Pengfei Niu, Martí and Anna Roig will attend the Nanoselect workshop to be held in Sant Feliu next week.
Siming will present two posters and Pengfei and Martí will give two oral communications. You can see the program here.
Carla has just finished the second year of Nanocience’s and Nanotechnology at the UAB. This summer she has joined our group for a summer project on Janus nanoparticles under the supervision of Dra. Anna Roig.
Muling attended the 2013 Chunhui Science Conference (26th June – 2nd July, Dalian, China) (www.chinaocs.com). The conference was organized by the Science and Technology Ministry and Education Ministry of China. Its purpose is to introduce a number of advanced technologies and projects overseas of high-level talents to return China. 1,270 overseas students were selected. Muling was the only representative from Spain. 28 provinces and municipalities have been enrolled in this conference. China is offering a very strong economical support for students abroad.
First paper accepted

Elisa Carenza, Verónica Barceló, Anna Morancho, Lisa Levander, Cristina Boada, Anna Laromaine, Joan Gibert, Anna Roig*, Joan Montaner, Anna Rosell*
Nerea Murillo, Anna Laromaine and Anna Roig attended the E-MRS Spring Meeting in Strasbourg. They were busy running from symposium Q to symposium U and R.
Anna Roig gave an invited contribution on Symposium Q: “Bionanomaterials for imaging, sensing and actuating”.
Assistència Sanitària has granted a scholarship to Laura that covers 50 % of the tuition fee of the course on “Sistemes de qualitat en la indústria i la investigació farmacèutica” that she attended before joining us. The diplomas will be presented to the grantees next 18th June at the Hospital of Barcelona.
19th May Sunday issue of “EL PERIODICO”.
Michele Cantazaro described the difficult situation of the Spanish R&D system.
ICMAB researchers, Xavier Obradors, Mariano Campoy and Anna Roig answered to his questions.
In this study, authors demonstrate the formation of oriented piezoelectrically active α-quartz thin films directly on silicon. Films are prepared by dip-coating from alcohol/ water solutions of soluble silicic acid precursors plus surfactant or block copolymer structure-directing agents. Solvent evaporation drives the self-assembly of amorphous silica films composed of ordered arrays of pores. An appropriate thermal treatment results on epitaxial quartz films.
We congratulate the authors and specially our group member Martí Gich. You can read the full article

Pengfei and Muling participated as speakers in the 1st Scietific Meeting of ICMAB-ICN-CIN2 students. Pengefei with a presentation entitled Porous Carbon / Bismuth Nanoparticles Composites for Sensitive Heavy Metals Detection and Muling with one under the tiltle Preparation and Characterization of Bacterial Cellulose Films. They both did a great job.
The rest of the group also attended and were very active putting forward lots of questions to young speakers. If you want to know more
