👥This week we have been at the iPlasmaNano-XIII! ⚡️Plasma synthesis of advanced multifunctional nanoarchitectures for energy harvestig applications by Juan R. Valencia 🔬Development and applications of conformal aerogel-like oxide films by plasma deposition by A. Barranco

Throwback to last week when we called 2024 literature laureate Han Kang just moments after she found out about the prize. We spoke to her about growing up around books and being the first South Korean literature laureate. Listen here:
