📢 #Special Issue: Noble Metal Nanoparticles: Preparation, Characterization and Applications 📅 20 July 2026 👨‍🔬 Guest Editors: Dr. Sara Cerra (Sapienza University of Rome, Italy) Dr. Ilaria Fratoddi (Sapienza University of Rome, Italy) 🔗mdpi.com/journal/applsc… #NobleMetalNanoparticles #PlasmonicNanomaterials #ColloidalSynthesis #TopDownSynthesis #SurfaceFunctionalization #NanoparticleCharacterization #Catalysis #Electrocatalysis #BiomedicalApplications #Nanomedicine #Sensing #Detection #StructurePropertyRelationships #Nanotechnology #MaterialsScience #AdvancedMaterials

On June 26, we welcomed Dr. Sara Cerra (Sapienza University of Rome) to our Chair for a seminar on functionalized nanomaterials. She presented cutting-edge strategies to tune nanoparticle shape and surface chemistry for applications in nanomedicine, sensing, and more.

✨ We concluded the #nanoBalkan Conference in Tirana with experts from 22 countries 🌍🔬. Thanks to 🇦🇱 Gov, PM Edi Rama, Minister Mirela Kumbaro, partners & organizers. Together we advance nanotech, AI & R&D in the Balkans & EU 🚀 @icn2nano #PhantomsFound @susnanoproject #ASA #UT

Today, it was a pleasure to host the seminars of Prof. Peng Gao, Prof. Hui Wang, and Prof. Shenggang Li from the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SARI-CAS), talking about carbon neutrality and CO2 conversion. A great step for new collaborations!

Delighted to host Prof. @ArbenMerkoci (@merkoci_group ) at the Dept. of Chemistry of @SapienzaRoma learning about the development of nanomaterial-based devices for Point-of-Care applications. Very inspiring talk!

Another chapter on metal nanoparticles hybrids out now. This time, we combine maghemite and silver nanoparticles in a single nanoplatform to improve Sorghum seeds germination. Thanks to all co-authors 🥳 🔓Get the #openaccess paper 👇🏻 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… @ACSPublications
