Irene’s talk at ASC2026, Pittsburgh

Irene gave a talk at the Applied Superconductivity Conference in Pittsburgh, US (ASC2026) on Direct Laser Writing for Nanoscale Control of Superconductivity in YBCO Thin Films. The talk highlighted our results on the use of focused laser irradiation to locally control the oxygen content of YBCO thin films, enabling nanoscale tuning of their superconducting properties. Congrats Irene!!

New Paper on Nanoscale Tuning of Superconductivity in YBCO

In our new paper on Advanced Functional Materials “Nanoscale Spatial Tuning of Superconductivity in CuprateThin Films via Direct Laser Writing” (https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.77288), we demonstrated a direct laser writing approach for the nanoscale engineering of the superconducting properties in YBCO thin films. Our approach enables the direct fabrication of superconducting nanostructures with tailored functionalities, opening new opportunities for nanoscale superconducting devices and […]

New ERC Proof-of-concept “LANTERN” starts

LANTERN project, a spin-off of ERC Starting grant B3YOND, was funded through an ERC Proof-of-concept and starts today!
LANTERN will demonstrate a radically new nanofabrication methodology based on direct laser-induced phase nanoengineering, in which the functional properties of materials are locally and reversibly modified with sub-micron precision under ambient conditions.
