As part of the 13th “Desafiar os Limites em Ciência e Tecnologia” event, organized by the Department of Physics at Instituto Superior Técnico, high school students visited the NanoXcan lab. This initiative introduces students to Technological Physics Engineering through engaging talks and lab tours. During their visit, students learned about our research on X-ray imaging, […]
This Monday, the NanoXCAN team gathered in Prague for an in-person project meeting hosted by our partner Rigaku Innovative Technologies Europe. We reviewed recent progress, shared technical updates, and planned the next steps for our compact X-ray microscope development.It was a great opportunity to align efforts across institutions and keep pushing the project forward. Thanks […]
On April 14th, members of the NanoXCAN group, alongside colleagues from the Group of Lasers and Plasmas (GoLP), took part in the celebration of World Quantum Day in Porto. The event, part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology initiatives, brought together researchers, students, and the public to celebrate the 100th anniversary of […]
In this experiment, performed at the Nanoscopium beamline at SOLEIL synchrotron, we explored a novel approach to X-ray imaging by using a X-ray diffuser to generate a pseudo-thermal light source with tunable coherence. By conducting the experiment at a synchrotron, we were able to harness a bright X-ray beam to study how partially coherent light […]
NanoXCAN partners and researchers recently convened in Paris for a project meeting hosted by the team at LULI (Laboratoire pour l’Utilisation des Lasers Intenses). During the gathering, project updates were shared, and upcoming steps for the Horizon 2020 Pathfinder Project were discussed in depth. A key highlight of the meeting was a visit to the […]
A distinguished delegation organized by the Austrian Embassy visited the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) this week with the aim of exploring potential collaborations and partnerships. The visit was led by Austrian Research Centers GmbH (ARC), Austria’s largest research center dedicated to applied research and development outside the university sector. This initiative marks a significant step […]
