My second paper is finally out in ACS Nano! Another important step toward optoelectronic devices with quantum dot superlattices. Thanks to all the great collaborations in Groningen Portale Lab Kooi Lab and to my supervisor Maria Antonietta Loi ACS Nano @ZernikeInst pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Happy to see our GISAXS images acquired on these fantastic #QuantumDots superlattices from the Maria Antonietta Loi group showcased by ACS Nano

Save the Date & Call for Abstracts! On behalf of 4TUHighTechMaterials, Bart Kooi @ZernikeInst & Gertjan Koster #UTwente organize a joint workshop on Advanced #InSitu Methods for #Materials Characterization. 📅 Utrecht, 29 Nov 2024 📣 Deadline: 30 Sep 2024 🌐 Info: 4tu.nl/htm/joint-mate…

Great day yesterday at our Next Generation #PVMaterials conference in Groningen. I had the honour to chair the afternoon session that featured talks from Prof. Michael Toney and Prof. Michael Saliba SalibaLab. @ZernikeInst

Despite the limited time due to academic duties, I still try to join 1 or 2 beamtimes per year with my group. This time at I07 Diamond Light Source the Portale Lab and Maria Antonietta Loi groups together. Jacopo Pinna Gábor Érsek

Happy to have contributed to this amazing piece of work from Tibor Kudernac Our GIWAXS analysis has been fundamental to determine the structure of these artificial polymerized motors.

Join this fantastic consortium. We have one PhD position available on structure-property of perovskite materials available using X-rays #hiring #phd #university #science

We now know how polymeric coatings form! Check out our latest paper on drying waterborne polyurethane formulations. Congrats to Gábor Érsek Based on measurements performed at European Synchrotron sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #gisaxs #coatings #SAMcluster #portalelab #polymers

Just finished a run at the #Diamomd light source #synchrotorn. We had a great time in the UK, where in this top facility we managed to measure a huge variety of samples! Big thanks to the team of I22, they are simply amazing! ⚗️💎 Portale Lab Diamond Light Source

Yesterday Lieke got her master diploma in chemistry with a cum laude. She worked with us on self-healing polymers for battery applications. Congratulations #Chemistry #students #university

The beginning of a new adventure. Yesterday we had the kick off of our new EU funded project MERGE, where we will join forces in the coming 3 years to develop eco-friendly and cost effective single ion catalysts for waste biomass valorization. CEET VŠB-TUO Politecnico di Milano @ZernikeInst

Happy 30 years of science 🎉🔬 #OnThisDay 30 years ago, on 1st October 1994, European Synchrotron opened its doors to its first users. Three decades later, with a record of discoveries in its history, the ESRF is proud to celebrate 30 years of science and user operation!

🚀 Abstract Submission for #EPF2025 is Now Open! 🚀 Present your work at the European Polymer Congress 2025 join us in shaping a sustainable future for polymers! 🌍 June 22-27, 2025, Groningen. Deadline: Feb. 3, 2025 Learn more & submit your abstract 👉 epf2025.org

For colleagues from University of Groningen who are not able to travel to Utrecht tomorrow, please join the solidarity protest at the Academy Building November 14th at 13:00.

🥳 Our work on modified 2D Mxene polymer electrolytes for solid state batteries is finally out and published online in Advanced Functional Materials. Congratulations to Xiaolong He and all collaborators. #Batteries #energy onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Congratulations to our PhD Ilaria Squillante for winning the best poster award at the DPI annual meeting 2024. The price is shared with the other two PhDs part of a great team. #Science #POLYMER #conference

Our PhD candidate Rosa gave an amazing talk on self assembly of nano crystals at the chemistry annual meeting of the Dutch community #chains2024. Data from Diamond Light Source Well done 👏 #Science #phdlife

🥳Our work on self-healing solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) based on thiourea H-bonded supramolecular polymers is published online in Journal of Energy Storage. Congratulations to Yongsheng Zhang and all collaborators. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #Batteries #Energy

Finally out the first paper from my PhD project! Take a look at how a small modification can completely change the photochromism of molecular photoswitches. Huge thanks to the whole team, none of this would have been possible without you! Portale Lab Roza David Picconi
