I am humbled and grateful for the honour been inducted into the Royal Academy of Engineering as an international fellow by the HRH Princess Royal Anne last week in London

Great talk on TMD domes at the MRS Fall Meeting in Boston by our PhD student Elena 🙂 Elena Blundo

A two-year post-doc position is available in our group at Sapienza (Rome) funded by QuantERA R&D Funders for Quantum Technologies (QT). Contact us for further information ([email protected]). Hurry-up! 😉 The deadline is January 20th.

Congratulations to Elena for her PhD thesis defence with honours and top-notch reviewers' reports Elena Blundo Sapienza Università di Roma

Variant equilibrium laws in atomically thin crystals: Crystal bubbles behave differently. See our work in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

A lot of efforts to keep our bubbles in shape also at low temperatures and all we (with Polimeni Lab, Elena Blundo, Salvatore Cianci, Marco Felici) get are..... just single photons 😀😀😀 (spatially controlled ones 😉😉) CNR - IFN CNR Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

We're finally setting up our Twitter profile 😎 This is a QuantERA project which started just a few months ago You can find more info on our website 🙂: equaise.pwr.edu.pl Our consortium is shown below Polimeni Lab Marco Felici Giorgio Pettinari Christian Schneider Nanophotonics Rome

In this work published in 2DMaterials @ioppublishing we show that monolayers of the alloy WSSe are darkish materials (like WS2 & WSe2) and host quantum emitters! doi.org/10.1088/2053-1… Polimeni Lab Giorgio Pettinari Marco Felici Elena Blundo Salvatore Cianci Sapienza Università di Roma CNR - IFN
