Nanoscience & Nanotechnology

The Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Conference will be held in the Bruno Touschek Auditorium (Bldg. 36, access from LNF secondary entrance in Via E. Fermi, 60 – see map).The NEXT Nanotechnology group at INFN – LNF organizes since 2000 a series of international meetings in the area of nanotechnology. The conference in 2023 is devoted to recent developments in nanoscience and its manifold technological applications. It consists of a number of tutorial/keynote lectures, as well as research talks presenting frontier nanoscience research developments and innovative nanotechnologies in the areas of biology, medicine, aerospace, optoelectronics, energy, materials and characterizations, low-dimensional nanostructures and devices. We plan to submit selected papers, based on conference talks and related discussions, for publication on a special issue of the Hindawi journal (Journal of Nanomaterials, Impact Factor=3.791, Chief Editor Stefano Bellucci), https://www.hindawi.com/journals/jnm/.There will be Invited Lecturers and selected talks from the call for papers below, as well as a poster session.CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONSAuthors wishing to submit their work for presentation at the conference can send an abstract as a doc or pdf file (max. 3 pages) to bellucci@lnf.infn.it by 15th May 2023, specifying whether it is meant for oral or poster presentation. Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their submission.REGISTRATIONThere is no fee for attendance, however registration is mandatory and must be submitted by 21st May 2023.HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONHotel reservation is the responsibility of the participants.

Workshop ‘LiteBIRD-Italia 2023 @ INFN-LNF (LB-ITA23@INFN-LNF)’

La missione spaziale LiteBIRD, a guida giapponese (JAXA) ma con significativa partecipazione europea, ha come obiettivo principale di rivelare le onde gravitazionali primordiali generate durante l’inflazione, attraverso misure di estrema precisione della polarizzazione del CMB. La partecipazione italiana consiste di nodi universitari, ASI (principale finanziatore italiano), INAF e INFN. Il gruppo LNF, recentemente coinvolto, ospita il workshop in cui viene presentato lo stato di avanzamento del progetto verso l’approvazione della fase-B, in tutte le sue componenti: sviluppo strumentale, simulazioni, analisi e vincoli modellistici.   Il 22 e 23 maggio si passeranno in rassegna le attività in corso da parte della collaborazione italiana. La giornata di mercoledì 24 maggio sarà dedicata ad un approfondimento del principale contributo strumentale INFN, la SQUID controller unit. Il Workshop è dedicato ai membri dei gruppi finanziati da ASI e INFN nell’ambito del progetto LiteBIRD. La partecipazione del personale INFN-LNF è benvenuta.  Il workshop si terrà nell’Aula Salvini (66 posti).Recording 22/05/2023: Link, Password = $8ib8!xkRecording 23/05/2023: Link, Password = AzCW$9J?Recording 24/05/2023: Link, Password = dymi&#M6Ultimo Aggiornamento: 26/05/2023. LOC:Luca Porcelli (Chair), Giovanni Delle Monache, Sultan Dabagov, Dariush Hampai, Giuseppina Modestino.

Chasing quantum gravity on Dirac materials

The work of our group at Charles University on reproducing scenarios of high energy theoretical physics (hep-th) on Dirac materials, like graphene, will be introduced. The main goal will be to show how versatile these systems are, and how far and wide into the hep-th territory we can venture with them.I shall review why these materials lend themselves to the emergence of special relativistic-like matter and space, and of the various geometric gauge fields of gravity theories. I shall then briefly mention some fresh results: from the time-loop to spot torsion, to the generalized uncertainty principles of quantum gravity stemming from and underlying (lattice) length; from a model of grain-boundaries and their relation to (A)dS and Poincaré spacetime algebras, to Unconventional Supersymmetry and the role of the two Dirac points.Then the focus will be on the emergence of curvature that gives raise to effects typical of quantum fields on a classical curved background. I shall show why the (2+1) dimensions and Weyl symmetry are crucial to identify the specific arrangements that realize a Unruh-Hawking kind of phenomenon. If time permits, other interesting scenarios, that include the BTZ black hole and de Sitter spacetime, will be discussed.Finally, I shall briefly comment on what we could learn on the above from quantum circuits.
