Nanoscience Colloquia

Open, advanced talks on nanoscience

The Nanoscience Colloquia – from the latin word ”loqui” that means talk – are a series of advanced talks on nanoscience, open to everyone within and outside academia. Welcome to join the conversation – see you in k-space at the Physics Department!

Colloquia scheduled

Nanoscience colloquia are on Thursdays at 15:15 in k-space, department of Physics (unless otherwise stated).


15 May 2025: Complementarity of neutrons and synchrotron radiation for the study of cell membranes.

Giovanna Fragneto, Science Director at ESS, Adjunct Professor at the Physical Chemistry division, Lund University.

In this lecture, we will focus on developments made in the last decades on developing model membrane systems and their use in interaction with different proteins, as well as the complementary studies with synchrotron radiation.

These will comprise the development of advanced models of biological membranes including systems with hydrogenous and deuterated natural glycerophospholipid mixtures and their study with neutron and synchrotron radiation scattering techniques.

3 April 2025: Microsystems in our daily life.

Prof. Dr. Fred Roozeboom, University of Twente, The Netherlands.

The revolutionary rise of semiconductor science and technology in the past ~65 years was accompanied by a similar development of microsystems, starting with the thermal inkjet printer head. Today, we witness the continuous miniaturization and further 3D integration of both domains into ever smarter System-in-Package devices serving ambient and artificial intelligence.
