The Research and Development Agency (RDA) has approved funding for the research project APVV-23-0202 on Ternary Chalcogenide Perovskites for Photovoltaics and APVV-23-0300 on Charging and Charge Transfer in Quantum Confined Nanocrystals. Congratulations!

The Faculty of Natural Sciences organized the student conference to encourage undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD students to present their work on April 25, 2024. The program featured two main sessions: a presentation and a poster session. An estimated 150 participants from various departments showcased their research. Three students participated from LAM: Sameer Kumar Tiwari presented on “Preparation of BaZrS₃ Thin Films at Moderate Temperature and its Mechanism.” Ivana Božeková discussed her research “Using Gold Nanocrystals to Inhibit Bacterial Growth as a Possible Alternative to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance.” This work contributes to advancing our understanding of nanomaterials in biomedical applications. Ehsan Rezaie Ahari presented a Photoluminescence study of BaZrS₃ Perovskite nanocrystals at a single nanocrystal level showing a phenomenon of photoluminescence intermittence, blinking.

PhD students Ivana Božeková, Sameer K. Tiwari were awarded UK student research grants and PhD student Daniil Zinoviev was awarded an excellent UK student grant for 2024.

Congratulations to Ivana, Sameer, Daniil!

Ing. Peter Lešták joined LAM team as a new research administrator. Welcome to LAM, Peter!

On 20.03.2024, members of the LAM team participated in an event organized by NextStep Science. This event focuses on creating contacts between those interested in career opportunities in the natural sciences, people from the field of science and the private sector. Members of the LAM team introduced the visitors to the scientific focus, work in the laboratory, and the possibilities of future use of nanomaterials and new materials that are being developed at LAM.

On 08.03.2024 Dr. Sýkora gave a lecture for dozens of participants of the Chemistry Olympiad from all over Slovakia. High school students learned about quantum dots and the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In addition, they had the opportunity to learn more about research at LAM in the form of an interesting excursion in the laboratory.

An interview with the Director of the laboratory, Dr. Milan Sýkora, under the title “Research from Los Alamos brought to Bratislava”, was published in journal „Naša Univerzita“ (Our University). You can read the entire interview in Slovak on page 16 of the magazine by clicking on „Ročník 70, 2. číslo, letný semester 2024)” here: https://uniba.sk/nu/.
