The well-known and long established international conference on organic photonics and nanoelectronics, ICONO 12 –ICOPE 2011, continues today in TCD’s School of Physics. Over 100 delegates from over 20 countries, mainly from the Far East and the USA, are attending the four-day event.
 

Professor Michael Coey, CRANN Principal Investigator and Erasmus Smith’s Chair of Natural and Experimental Philosophy, Trinity College Dublin, has been awarded the inaugural RDS / Intel Prize Lecture for Nanoscience in recognition of his contribution to the field of nanoscience.

A “great success” was how Dr Hongzhou Zhang, CRANN PI, described the Annual Symposium of the Microscopy Society of Ireland (MSI), which concluded on Friday last, 26th August, in Trinity College Dublin (TCD). The MSI is a multi-disciplinary, all-island learned society which concerns itself with all aspects of microscopy. All traditional and emerging methods of microscopy, and their applications, were considered at the Symposium, including nanomaterials and nanodevices and Electron and Helium-ion Microscopy, providing researchers and students an opportunity to learn more about state of the art techniques and new developments in microscopy by leading experts.
 

CRANN is recruiting a Transmission Electron Microscope Specialist (TEM) Specialist, who will be a leader in the institute in the design and application of new TEM and STEM techniques. The post holder will assist in the maintenance and the future development of the FEI Titan Microscope and train and support users from both academia and industry involved in research programmes using this instrument.
