The presentation explores the principles and practices of Open Science, highlighting how increased transparency, accessibility and collaboration in research can enhance its societal relevance and impact. Will be also examined the key pillars of Open Science – including open access, open data, and citizen science – and how these contribute to democratizing knowledge, fostering innovation, […]
Speaker: Jakub Cikhardt (Czech Technical University) The interaction of a focused high-power laser with matter results in the generation of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). In the case of terawatt and petawatt lasers, the intensity of the EMP is strong enough to interfere with diagnostic signals and may cause malfunction or distortion of electronic devices. Moreover, […]
This year’s HZDR Data Management Days will take place from Tuesday, 11 November (1 p.m.) to Wednesday, 12 November (3 p.m.), featuring a mix of lectures and interactive workshops.The programme on 12 November is only for internal participants. In the context of advancing digitalisation and an ever-increasing need for reproducibility, this year’s event will focus […]
Speaker: Christian Tzschaschel (University of Zurich) Weyl semimetals have emerged as a promising quantum material system to discover novel electrical and optical phenomena, due to their combination of nontrivial quantum geometry and strong symmetry breaking. Here, I will present the observation of the nonlinear optical diode effect (NODE) in the magnetic Weyl semimetal CeAlSi, where […]
Speakers: Eleanna Pirgianaki (IESL-FORTH) In recent years, photoacoustic (PA) techniques have gained significant role in the field of cultural heritage (CH) diagnostics, proving to be powerful tools for the detailed investigation of complex and fragile objects such as paintings, documents and murals. These techniques are based on the PA effect, which involves the generation of […]
Speaker: Andrzej Bartnik (MUT-IOE) Date: Wednesday, 28 January 2026, 16:00 CET Many experiments relevant to various processes in Space were devoted to support interpretation of astronomic observations. The experiments concern formation of astrophysical jets, photoionized plasmas in accretion disks around compact stars, supernovae explosions, matter formed inside giant planets, formation of interstellar dust, molecular processes in […]
Speaker: Maria Kandyla (National Hellenic Research Foundation) The need for advanced materials and systems with new functionalities has motivated the development of micro/nanostructures on solid surfaces, which are necessary for the fabrication of functional devices for novel applications. In this talk, we will discuss the development of functional micro/nanostructures, based on laser-processed surfaces. Coating micro/nanostructures […]
Title: Materials and post-processes for multi-photon lithographySpeaker: Dimitra Ladika (VULRC)Date: Wednesday, 29 April 2026, 16:00-17:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) Multi-photon lithography (MPL) enables the fabrication of true 3D micro- and nanostructures without the need for masks or complex tooling, directly from computer-aided designs. Owing to these unique capabilities, MPL has emerged as a powerful […]
Title: Elucidating the Photon Migration Effects in Incubated Chicken Eggs using Time-Domain Diffuse Optics Speaker: Lennard van den Tweel (Wageningen University and Research) Date: Wednesday, 20 May 2026, 16:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) The early and non-invasive assessment of chicken embryonic sex and viability is of great interest. This interest is driven by the […]
Title: Medical Radionuclide Production by Laser Wakefield Acceleration Speaker: Dino Jaroszynski (University of Strathclyde) Date: Wednesday, 10 June 2026, 16:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) We present a study of the production of 67Cu medical radioisotopes using bremsstrahlung radiation produced by 150 pC bunches of high energy electrons from a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) when they interact […]
