Infectious diseases are responsible of millions of deaths worldwide every year. If most of them benefit from treatments/vaccins, resurgence (whooping cough), resisting strains (tuberculosis), persistence (HIV) and new pandemic burden (COVID-19) remain.
In this study, molecular dynamics simulations is used to assess the damage evolution as a function of dose and temperature of several FeCrNi solid-solutions modeling austenitic steels. First, the threshold displacement energy (TDE) is evaluated for Fe, Cr, and Ni primary knock-on atoms, showing similar behavior across species and suggesting limited influence of alloying for TDE. Subsequently, displacement cascade simulations revealed...
NOMATEN is organizing a symposium on computational materials for nuclear applications during the AMT 2026 conference in Łódź, Poland (June 14–17, 2026).
Since 1948, we have been a frontrunner in international energy research. We have contributed to the development of ground-breaking cancer medicine, new solutions in renewable energy, more energy-efficient industrial processes, zero-emission transport solutions, and future-oriented energy systems. At IFE, we build bridges between research, education, and industry. We have extensive infrastructure and full-scale laboratories where theoretical models are transformed into commercial activities.
NOMATEN will co-organize a symposium entitled “From Atoms to Applications: Multiscale Modeling and Data-Driven Strategies for Advanced Materials” during the E-MRS Fall Meeting 2026, which will take place on September 16–17, 2026 in Warsaw, Poland.
CANCELLED — This seminar will not take place. A new date will be announced.
Radiolabeled biomolecules are increasingly employed for diagnostic and treatment. Amongst available imaging radioisotopes, fluorine-18 presents many advantages (ease of production, optimal physical properties and short half-life) and is the most commonly used PET isotope. However...

Fe-Mn-Al-C-based lightweight austenitic steels (LWAS) are widely investigated as potential substitutes for conventional Ni-Cr steels to minimise the carbon footprint. However, grain boundary embrittlement by κ-carbide deteriorates the ductility, limiting their extension to elevated temperature properties.
Ultrasound sensitive microbubbles filled with oxygen may act as a tissue radiosensitizer. Oxygen from microbubbles can be released locally by an ultrasound impulse, leading to a controlled, local increase in pO2. Temporal changes in tumor oxygenation was measured with OxyChip as an oxygen sensor using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance.
How can infrared spectra help make technologies more sustainable? In this lunch-and-learn session, you’ll see how FTIR spectroscopy connects molecular structure with real-world performance in green technologies. Using practical examples, the talk shows how FTIR is applied in catalysis, battery research, and hydrogen storage, and how spectral information translates into thermal properties such as emissivity—relevant for solar-thermal materials and passive radiative cooling.
The discovery and design of new materials is critical for advancing carbon-emission reducing technologies such as renewable energy and electric vehicles. Experimental discovery of new materials is typically slow and costly, quantum mechanics (QM) calculations have brought computational materials design within reach. However...
