Presentation

The Microscopy at the Frontiers of Science Conference 2025 has established itself as a reference event in the field of microscopy, attracting international researchers and fostering interdisciplinary exchange. It is structured around three main areas within microscopy: Materials, Life Sciences, and Cryo-electron microscopy (CryoEM).

The MFS25 conference will open on 23 September with a welcome reception, followed by three days of lectures from 24 to 26 September. Over these three days, at least seven lectures by renowned international keynote speakers who will address key topics related to the three main areas of the event to captivate the entire audience, focusing on cross-cutting topics and interdisciplinary frontiers within the field of microscopy.

Topics

the structural and chemical factors that dictate the properties of nanocrystalline materials, from discovery to their application in commercial products.

ultrafast spectroscopy, synchrotron techniques, and advances in electron microscopy – and what they reveal about the photophysics, dynamics, and electronic structure, of nanocrystalline materials.

synthesis, chemistry, and electronic properties of molecular systems and their relationship to the analogous material systems.

synthesis and chemistry of colloidal nanocrystals, including size and shape control, surface coordination chemistry and its relationship to optoelectronic properties.

newly areas in nanoscience, including colloidal metal-organic frameworks, automation in nanocrystal synthesis, and van der Waal’s materials.

synthesis and properties of nanostructured oxides and transition metal-containing materials for electrochemical and catalytic applications.

the latest advances in construction and performance of optoelectronic devices based on inorganic nanomaterials, including electrochromic materials and infrared photodetectors, etc.
